By the end of class on Monday, please choose 3 of your longer posts to revisit and refine.
REVISION means to re-SEE. This could include adding to a story (at the beginning, end, and/or middle). This might also involve letting go of some of the writing you've already done and replacing it with something that works better. This could also mean writing something entirely new--a story or poem or something else--inspired by one of your answers to the assignments like the Dan in Real Life or Maya Angelou questions where you just posted your thoughts on topics.
- Post each piece in a separate New Post
- Title them Revision #1, Revision #2, Revision #3.
- Copy and paste your original text into your post.
- Highlight changes/additions in your new version.
Think about which of your pieces reflect some of your best thinking, writing, creativity, and potential and how you could take those significantly further. Editing or correcting typos would polish your pieces for sure, but the focus here is to expand on ideas rather than just touching up what is already there.
Progress Reports go out again the week after Thanksgiving, so catch up on anything you are missing before we leave for break. Be sure that you've posted your food-inspired writing, too, and let's plan to EAT in class on Tuesday! Bring something--maybe the food that inspired your writing piece--to share with everyone and/or we could get bagels or donuts.
You all continually amaze me with your creativity and your responses to the assignments we've done in class...I am so inspired by what you all come up with! I am THANKFUL for YOU! XOXO
