1. Wednesday 7th – class assignment 1 – with dictionary.
The work and preparation you did for the class debates will help you in writing either an opinion or argumentation article. Question suggestions on pages 18 and 19 of the coursebook Reason to Write will be worth thinking about in advance. Also read the article in the book on pages 2, 3, 4.
2. Feedback from debates coming on Monday. Congratulations to you all for last week.
3. Creative writing – Either continue on from the debate topics or escape!!! ….. To post in your group blogs (not assessed, but corrected). How about for Monday 12th.
Some ideas:
i.) Play around with a sentence taken from a screen play in your short stories: “With each step farther from the Donor Processing Center, Derek feels his movements ease, his pace quicken, his stiffness loosen. A concentrated and increasing happiness sweeps across his face.”
ii.) Finish the sentence… “……and I really thought he would do it.”
iii.) Start with " I always thought we were the same ......."
iv.) Ideas from Bruce Holland Roger’s Creative Writing workshop will also be valuable. Read the specific stories he has suggetsed in his replies to the workshop notice.
4. Cartoons. If anyone has the time to create a PowerPoint with a few well-selected cartoons for use on Monday 5th (short notice –sorry), but will also be of use for the following Monday.
