Thursday, 21 February

Class began listing memorable scenes or sights. After discussing cliches writerss had time to free write.

Writers were reminded of up coming due dates:
Monday: at least 2 of the six rough drafts revised and improved.
Tuesday: the six rough drafts; the two additional revised drafts; two final drafts.

Much of class was spent conferencing and revising writing. Mr. Zartler checked that writers had brought six rough drafts.

Tuesday, 19 Febraury

Six rough draft poems are due on Thursday, 21 February.

Two final draft (and four rough draft) poems are due on Tuesday, 26 February.

Class began with making lists of memorable sounds. Writers then chose one of these sounds as a prompt.

We later read "Poetry" by Pablo Neruda, and then used the poem as a prompt for our own writing.

Last semesters final projects were passed out for review by the authors, then collected for portfolios.

Writers had time to conference.
