Welcome to Class!
I look forward to getting to know all of you and your writing better this semester. Let's start with your Creative Monster. For those of you who need a reminder of the in-class prompt, here it is below: These are due in proper formatting on Wednesday.
Writing Assignment: Creative Monsters
At some point in our writing we were given a potentially damaging message. For example, maybe in 2nd grade Mrs. Thompson said that you were a horrible speller, or Mr. Jones said your handwriting was atrocious or Ms. Dillon said you would never be able to write. It could have been a teacher, a parent, another adult or even a peer. Regardless, these messages stay with us. Your writing prompt: Write out the story of one of these “Creative Monsters.” Describe the person, the situation, the setting, what happened, how it made you feel, and how it ended. Try and arrange it like a story, with a beginning, middle, and end. Tell it with enthusiasm and color, as if you were telling a story to one of your friends over dinner. If you want an extra challenge (good for you!)trying beginning the story "Once upon a time" and see what happens. Try to fill one page.
And be sure to read the two "moth" essays for Wednesday. I couldn't find an electronic link to both, but here is a link to one of them:
"Death of The Moth" by Virginia Wolfe
