Today, we worked on Anglo Saxon Research Projects. Everyone has their topics!
Periods 3 and 4:
Read, the epilogue of The Alchemist.
Everyone had time to work on symbols projects. Due: Wednesday, 9/25/2019.
Period 6
Working with Memoir drafts:
- Most of you have a draft.
- All of you need more time to develop your draft.
- But first, you need a lesson about slowing down time.
- Let's read THIS passage of a moment described in detail.
Step 1:
Divide your draft into three sections: before / during / after
Step 2:
Add more details to the middle/during the section of your draft.
Suggested things to add include:
- What you were wondering at that moment
- What you thought was going to happen
- What you worried was going to happen
- Something someone (or you) said in that moment
- Sensory details, about what things smelled like or looked like
- The look on someone's face
- Add a simile or a metaphor, or a lot of adjectives

- Keep reading. INDEPENDENT READING PROJECT due 10/7/2019.
