Friday, 2/13/09 -2/23/09

1. Finish Reading in the Lake of the Woods--test on Tuesday, when we return.

2. Brainstorm ideas for your companion writing project: "The Bits and Pieces" Story

3. This story can be in any genre--fiction, poetry, or dramatic (play or screenplay).

Try to use different kinds of documents: transcripts of interviews, "emails", letters, legal documents,receipts, tickets, book excerpts, dictionary definitions of specific words, other "found" items, etc.
Think about using visuals: baby pictures, drawings, other photos, cartoons, etc.
Think about using newspaper headlines to provide dates, times, and settings.
Be creative and imaginative--fill your "story" with "bits and pieces."
