Next week

Come to class Monday ready to start writing your final Memoir.  Your structure plan must be finished.

Next Week there are a few  summative assessments

Parts of Speech has been pushed to FRIDAY (C/D and E/F class)

Writing claims and writing about author's craft  - SUMMATIVE will happen on THURSDAY. ALL CLASSES. We will practice this one more time with this story, Everything Will Be OK on Monday. (Feel free to read it in advance if you would like to do so. Also - MAKE SURE you are familiar with some of the characteristics of author's craft seen here.

Use of dialogue

FINAL Memoir  DUE DATE: Wednesday 4th October. This is the SUMMATIVE. If  you score lower on this piece than you hope a resubmission (before the end of October) will consist of writing a second memoir from your other list of micro-moments. Get it right the first time. Our goal is to 'teach the writer' not simply 'correct' writing.

TIP: Talk about your outline with a family member. A STRONG OUTLINE LEADS TO A SUCCESSFUL PIECE. WILL YOUR OUTLINE BE READY?  If you discover something 'completely' new about yourself/how the world works - then you are ready
