Last class we didn't meet since I was solving some personal matters. Thanks to those who replied to my text message and if you didn't please do so next time. That's "sort of" the way I take attendance and make sure that you are present somehow.
Having taken that out of the way...I want is to focus again on writing before I begin another cycle of grammar. I don't want you to get out of your mojo. (BTW, I can assume that none of you are behind anymore, right. I am turbo charging now so hold on tight!)
I want us to start focusing down no our writing. Details, details and more details! I want you to fine tune on an experience and write about it. Now is it that hard? I find it REALLY hard...but that's just me!
Assignment:
Choose 2 of the three writing prompts below. Write each one that you chose a separate blog entry.
1) Describe a “first” (first apartment, first kiss, first time driving a car, first lie, first big success, first roller coaster ride, first time in this setting). Include as many details as possible, being sure to include an aspect relating to each of the five senses.
2) Describe a memorable event, positive or negative, and how it felt to you, but do not name the feeling. Instead, tell how it felt in your body (damp hands, metallic taste, tight throat, wobbly knees, etc.).
3) Describe a significant person (teacher, neighbor, mentor, coach, parent, sibling, sweetheart) with as many physical details as possible, but no clichés! (If you’ve heard the expression before, don’t use it.)
