Quarter 4, Week 10 of 10


House Cleaning...ugh.
  1. Make sure all of your work is turned-in on Google Classroom.
  2. Make sure everything that SHOULD have a grade in Infinite Campus DOES.
  3. Make sure that your journal entries are dated. IF YOU WOULD LIKE IT BACK, please ask me to score it on Tuesday.
  4. ENRICHMENT vocabulary needed to be done by MAY 18. It will not appear in the gradebook until Friday because entering before all other grades would artificially inflate the overall grade in the course.
Speaking of grades...
You will only see a grade
for Quarter 4
and
Semester 2.
This is because
Creative Writing
was only technically
for Semester 1.


Quarter 4
and
Semester 2
are listed as the 
World Literature course.
So, yeah.
Sometimes, grades
really are

stranger than fiction.

Open letter to students in the class:

I'd like to thank you all for making this 
a fun and memorable time for me.
I was quite anxious entering the course
Never having taught it before this year.
Writing creatively is not easy.
It takes talent, skill, and a willing heart.
It takes patience, vision, and revision.
It requires failure, courage, and trust.
Whether you choose to continue writing
for yourself or for others down the road
I hope you have learned something of value,
something that will continue long after.
Na Ali'i can write brilliant fiction.
Thank you all for reminding me of that.

Mr. Fisher
