The opening prompt today was: "Family is...."
Class discussed the story "Garage Sales People".
During discussions today we generated these questions:
A) What makes a story true? and What makes fiction true?
B) What's more important the family you are born with or the family you choose?
C) What kind of stuff is valuable? and What kind of stuff is not valuable?
For homework writers are to write at least one paragraph for each of two of three of the sets of questions. Then, after rereading these paragraphs identify conflicts or other ideas to identify five different possible stories. Bring this to class tomorrow.
College / scholarship personal essays were returned with grades and general comments.
