February 23, 2010

Hi Class,
Remember that on Thursday we are workshopping the rough drafts of your narrative essays. Please bring four copies and come ready to work. Also, I'll be checking journals on Thursday, so if you need to catch up, catch up!

Journal #11: Your signature story

Okay, so for this entry I want you to think of a story you've told many times. This could be something funny or sad or whatever that may have happened to you or someone else...whenever you have an audience you like to tell this particular story because it gets a certain type of reaction. This should be a story you've told at least 5 times before. Think about how you've altered the story as you've told it, maybe made it longer here, funnier here, whatever. Each time you've told it, you've tried to improve it...so now write that story, exactly as you tell it, the way you tell it. Write for 10 minutes.
