Wednesday, October 22

Today you thought about titles for the piece you will revise for the Essay 1&2 assignment. Your title is your foot in the door - it is the first impression you make on the reader. Spend some time on it. Your reader reads the essay in light of the feelings/ideas you set up in your title.

You also took a look at the assignment sheet for Essay 3&4. These essays will be very much like essay 1&2 only they have less of a focus on your personal experience and more of a focus on a place, object or person. You then spent the rest of the class opening up some ideas around what and how you might revise your essay.

For your blog Monday you are going to start using objects to develop ideas for writing. Also - you are going to look at some examples of writing that uses "things" as a starting point.

We decided you would see how far you get with revising Essay 1/2 - and we will make a decision about when you want to turn your essays in.

Have a good weekend and see you on Monday.
