Hello students and parents of the 2011-2012 Creative Writing year!
You can email Mr. Zartler @ jzartler@pps.net
Assignments will generally be posted here the day they are assigned; occasionally this won't work out, but I'll do my best.
So far this year we've discussed Natalie Goldberg's (and my) advice for writing practice. She offered up some rules; the following are the most vital:
1) Keep your hand moving
2) Lose Control
3) Don't Think
and
4) Be specific
5) Don't worry about spelling, grammar, punctuation (during free writes only!)
6) You are free to write the worst junk in the world
7) Go for the jugular!
We experimented with various writing tools; everyone by now should have a dedicated writing journal.
We read and analyzed: "A Perfect Day for Bananafish"
