Personal Narrative - Day 2

Greetings! Happy Tuesday!

Today, we will start with a zoom call at 10:30. It will be short, but it will give me the chance not only to say hi to everyone and check in but also to explain the next two weeks to you in person. At the start of the call, I will post the assignment for the day.

Here is the zoom link for today's call.

See you then!

Update - here is the link to today's writing.

Personal Narrative - Day 1

Happy Friday!

So originally I wanted to have a zoom call with you tomorrow, but then I remembered on Fridays we meet first thing in the morning. Often on Fridays earlier in the year, we would play a game or something to energize us to get into the day. I miss those games!

We will have a zoom call on Tuesday where I will talk about more of this current, and final, unit in person. For now, remember what I said earlier in the week - this final unit will be about you, about telling your story, and the tools you can use to bring it to life.

Over the final seven days we have left for our class, you will be creating five short pieces of writing.

The writing for today comes out of the movie you watched this week. By the way, I hope you enjoyed the movie you watched!

Here are the directions for today.
