Week of August 29th
For Tuesday, August 30th, download and review the "WA1 DJMH/Gothic Writing Assignment" document from the left-hand column. You are not expected to produce any work for this assignment over the weekend, but you should be familiar with the expectations of the assignment and be prepared with any questions you have. *I reserve the right to amend and broaden the assignment by generating an additional prompt before we meet again Tuesday.
Monday, August 29th: Guidance period.
- If you wish to write about another DJMH topic not somehow specified on the Writing Assignment document, contact Ms. Herrick ASAP.
- Students who wish to work ahead may begin drafting a thesis and speaking with Ms. Herrick about the assignment on Monday (Guidance rotation).
- I strongly recommend that you reread the story over the weekend. New material - especially minor symbols and critical word choices - become much more apparent after a few days of discussion. This is a serious advantage to your writing.
