Required

According to the updated Creative Writing Expectations, you must turn in either *Short Lit. OR *Poem 5 April 23rd.  You can see what you have completed thus far in Skyward.  If you have completed both of these assignments already and are happy with your current score, review the options for this week to see if they are something you are interested in trying for our next due date in May.  

Option 1

Why Would I Do This?  If you haven't written a poem you are proud of from the work we have done thus far, this is your next option.  You need to submit EITHER *Poem 5 OR *Short Lit. this week (whichever you haven't submitted yet).
Objective:  I can identify color imagery in "Colors Passing Through Us" by Marge Piercy and utilize it in my own writing (W11-12.5).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task:  You will need a box of crayons for this activity.  If you do not have a box of crayons, there is a list of colors in Google Classroom for you to use. 
    • Read Marge Piercy’s “Colors Passing Through Us.” If you like, print and mark each color in the poem with the appropriate color from the box, or draw the images you imagine as it is read to you.
  • Select and print a picture and color it in as much detail as possible while 15-20 min. of the music plays.  
    • If you cannot print a picture, go back to the Picture Poem activity and select a colorful image to utilize.
    • Write down the name of each color crayon (or use the list) you use (or see in the painting) on the back of the picture (or on a scrap piece of paper).  Try to use/identify at least 10 different colors.  
  • After the coloring time, look closely at the picture you just colored or selected.
  • ​Describe each of the following based on what you see in your picture, using the names of the colors, but also your imagination.
    • Who                See
      What               Hear
      When              Smell
      Where            Taste
      Why                Feel
  • Exit Task:  Your poem should be at least 15 lines.  If you are proud of this poem, type it in *Poem 5 OR * Poem 6 for your April 23rd submission.  You must include a picture of your coloring page OR a copy of the painting you selected with your submission.

Option 2

Why Would I Do This?  If you have not completed *Short Lit. in Google Classroom, you need to write a story this semester.  These are the options that have been presented so far.  There will be very few story options as we continue.  It is best to submit a story sooner than later because they often take multiple drafts.
Objective:  I can review the stories I have drafted so far this semester and select one to continue to develop for feedback (W11-12.4).
Agenda:
  • Entry Task:  Get out your anthology and turn to the Short. Lit. tab that I gave you in class.  The in-class work that you have done will follow this tab.  Review what you have written so far to see if there is a story you would like to develop.  
  • These are the story options which have been presented:  
    • Aphorism (Option 2 from last week)
    • Allegory Story 
    • Magical Realism
    • Travel Story
    • Myth
    • Fairy Tale Twist
    • ​“A Rose for Emily” New Point of View
  • Exit Task:  If you select one of these stories to complete fully, type your draft in *Short Lit. in Google Classroom.  You are required to fully complete one story this semester.
