We're English 10 Nerds and Loving It: January 17, 2014

Focus: How do I develop my memoir?

1. Finding a memoir to read...

Try clicking HERE for ideas.

Or, try clicking HERE if you'd like to read a memoir that's really popular right now.

Or, try clicking HERE if you'd like to read memoirs geared towards teenagers.

Or, try clicking HERE for memoirs geared towards guys.

Or, try clicking HERE for memoirs geared towards the ladies.


2. Warm-up: Using your five sentences to explore a few different photographic places

3. Revising your writing: Get together with your one o'clock partner.
Your peer editing task:

  • Color code the imagery in your partner's writing.  Choose one color for sight, one for sound, one for taste, one for smell, and one for touch.  
  • Suggest places in your partner's writing where he or she could add imagery of a different sense (not just sight).

4. Editing your own writing (if you have three good pages that incorporate sensory imagery by the end of class, you get the weekend off from writing.)

HW:
1. By Tuesday, you need three edited pages TOTAL of writing that incorporate sensory imagery (preferably using all five senses).

2. Decide on what memoir you'd like to read by Wednesday; this is when your signed proposal is due.

Please click HERE for the proposal (you'll need to print this on your own, please).
