So, about that project...
April 9-13
Classwork
- Any revisions to your proposal letter need to be made, printed, signed, and resubmitted by the last class of this week.
- All Juniors are Smarter Balanced testing this week. Please be cognizant of whether or not you are near a testing room. Also, remain aware that this is pretty darn big deal for all of us. Try not to lay any unnecessary drama at the feet of those students who are testing.
- Remain inspired to create every day. Writing warm-ups are not a chore! If they become that, don't do them! Just know that, if you don't warm up, you can hurt yourself- just like in running, weightlifting, or other physical activity!
- Listen, feel, smell, and look outside to the mundane, everyday world for ideas. We miss so much rushing from one place to the next. Roses are not the only things to stop and smell: dirt, trees, grass, trash, sea water, streams, ginger, guava, even b/o and poo can inspire us to write using vivid sensory language!
Homework
- Continue drafting your project (be aware of the looming due dates ahead)
- Think about which project from this year you want to be in the final print publication for the course (we will be choosing before major project seven)
- Talk to Mr. Fisher if you are interested in starting a creative writing club next year (underclassmen only)
Discover more! Inspire others to take the creative writing class next year. We have started a great thing at Kekaulike...let's keep it going!
