Writers Week

WRITERS WEEK XV
If you had to pay for this, you couldn’t afford it.

Please report directly to the auditorium. Let’s try to sit in the middle section. The place is going to be jammin’ so get there as soon as possible. First person there, get a row for our class. Once you find your seat, wave or wink or point so I can take attendance.

Here’s your assignment: Post 2 blog posts responding to the week. One by Wednesday, one by Friday. (But feel free to post on the first two days or post everyday, though) Include specifics, always specifics. Think quotes. Zingers. “Ah-ha” moments. Post this as a comment to this post. Write three polished thank-you letters. (I'll send these!) Have a shareable draft – inspired by WW. (Thank yous and SD due Monday, Mar 2nd)

**Don’t be obnoxious and shuffle papers in the auditorium. Just carry around a pocket notebook or a few index cards and when you hear a zinger, quietly jot it down. If you don’t write it down, you’ll forget…and then what? No B or A, that’s what. And if no B or A, no college, no future, no family. The pits. The bottom of the pits. The cruddy leftover gunk that sticks to the pits. You don’t want that. And for your thank you notes, again, include specifics: “Thank you, Writer, for not laughing at me when I asked you a question. Everyone else laughs at me. You didn’t. Thanks...”

valentines day

Hello folk!
As most of you know, next Friday is the day before Valentines Day! As it is also Junior year I bet the majority of us are wailing over our homework, ACT and the loss of our innocence, I know I am. So let's liken back to our childhood! Mrs. Gerber said that we could possibly have a fun day on Friday! My ideas included everyone bringing a shoebox and a valentine for everyone! [Transformers, Hello Kitty and Spiderman valentines are required. All must also include candy.] Mrs. Gerber said that if anyone had any suggestions/wholeheartedly agreed with me [That means all of you] just to comment!
