Monday,+November+22

I am in a meeting today, so you will need to work on your own. You need to do the following assignments today:

Activity 1:
You and your group need to complete any of the 6 revision stations that you did not complete last time. When you finish, staple your two peer review forms and your alternate beginning or ending from the Organization Station together and turn them in.

Activity 2 :
Once your group has moved through each station, you need to put the finishing touches on your story. Make sure it is the BEST STORY EVER! Once you've accomplished this, post your completed story on your blog. Make sure to title it (like, a real title!) and label it "short story." Copy the link in the address bar of your story, and paste it into a reply to the correct link in the discussion board for "Short Stories" for your class.

Not finished revising and proofreading your story??? No problem! You have until Tuesday at midnight to get your story posted on your blog and linked to the discussion board.

Are you interested in submitting your work for publication? Check out the links on this website! We will talk more about this after break, but you guys are such amazing writers! I would love to help you find a real audience!

Activity 3:
I need to see a good LOT 3 journal entry from everyone today. Email me a LOT 3 journal entry at cafeharmon@gmail.com. Consider addressing something that we have discussed in class recently, such as a part of plot, irony, or point of view. Include title, date, LOT #, TEXT DETAIL, and COMMENTARY.

Continue reading and journaling for the remainder of the period. Make sure you have a good book for the break!

Homework
Make sure your story is published on your blog and linked to the discussion board.

Read and get some journal entries done over the Thanksgiving break. We will have a good journaling day when we come back from Thanksgiving, including an in-class check. Make sure to have yours with you! Also, if you have a good idea for a thINK while you are on break, you should hang on to it! We have one more to do for this term in December.

===Have a great break! Eat a ton of turkey and pumpkin pie, and wear your seat belt when you travel! Remember all of the reasons you have to be thankful! ===
