We will take the first part of class today to finish working on our 6-word memoirs. You will have about 15ish minutes to create/ find images and to format your 6-word memoir.
After that, we will practice sharing out to the class.
In order to practice giving feedback to each other, we are going to try the "Say Something" technique. After each person presents their 6-Word Memoir to the class, each of you is responsible for doing one of the following:
- Ask a question
- Clarify something you misunderstood
- Make a comment
- Make a connection
Remember, all comments, questions, etc. are to be respectfully stated and about the writing. Comments directed toward the person made with negative intentions will not be tolerated!
When we have finished that, you will have some time to do some reflective journal writing. The purpose of this journal entry will be to help me get an understanding of how you feel as a writer.
In your journal, I want you to reflect on the following prompt:
- How do you feel about yourself as a creative writer? How much practice have you had with story/poem writing? What topics interest you the most? What are you strengths and what are some areas that you can improve? Set 2 goals you want to focus on for your writing this semester.
- Your answer should be approximately 2-4 paragraphs long
Once you have completed your journal entry, please submit is using the form below:
