We are beginning the writing process together. We are going to write stories together this first quarter before launching into the Writer’s Workshop individually.
The first thing the class is going to do is brainstorm story ideas for how they can change their world. They just watched the movie Paper Clip and how a middle school in a rural town built a Holocaust Memorial that changed them and their community and to some extent the world. The students are going to start brainstorming ways they can change their world.
Homework: Have them develop a plot for their stories on changing their world and be ready to submit it on Wed. (Someone = themselves; Wants = To change their part of this world in this way; But = List the problems they might encounter; So = How you are going to resolve those problems and change your world.)
On 9/25 the class discussed three ways they might change their world:
1. Eliminate or curtail abortion in our community
2. Deepen the spiritual lives of Christ followers in our community
3. Eliminate poverty, hunger and homelessness in our community
These are great ideas and I can’t wait to see what else this group is going to try and take on!
what were the 3 topics we covered today in class?
do we have to right our autobiography or just like a paragraph about ourselves???
Thank You!!
