See the post below for Period 3. You have already turned in your Role of the Writer/Role of Literature Essays. On Friday you will turn in your typed piece of Flash Fiction. Remember, it can be about anything. Your journal writes were meant to help you generate ideas. You can go back to one of those pieces, complete it and enhance it, or you can use one of the ideas on the Short Story Ideas handout I gave you. You may also simply come up with your own idea.
Remember, you are shooting for 500-1,000 words. If you have made other arrangements about length with me, you may alter the length to suit your story.
HW: You are to have Chapters 1-2 of Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe read for class on Friday with six sticky notes annotating sections of the text. For annotation ideas, remember the CARPE notetaking system--Connections (text to text, text to self, text to world), Ask a question, Review what you understand so far, Predict what you think is going to happen, Evaluate the structure, characters, and author's style or choices.
We will be applying your notes to dialogue journals on Friday.
