Thursday, March 31

Do-Now: Which creative writing activity have you enjoyed the most so far?  Why?  Which activity have you enjoyed the least?  Why?  What other types of activities would you like to do in this class?

Today: In-Class Extra-Credit : All assignments due by the end of class today!

1) Write another sonnet on a topic of your choice = 20 pts.

2) Write a haiku = 3 pts. each or 10 pts. if you write THREE (you may not write more than SIX)

3) Character Sketch : Write a character sketch on another person you know (you may not choose the same person you did your first sketch on).  Remember, this sketch should read like a short story that doesn't follow the traditional plotline.  Length = 20 complete sentences = 20 pts.

4) Advice Column : With a partner, you may re-do the advice column activity.  Each letter asking for advice should be at least TEN sentences long and each response should be at least TEN sentences as well.  Remember, you are switching papers after writing the letter asking for help and responding to each other's problems.  You will each receive 20 pts. for two completed letters and responses.

5) Heart Map: Create another heart map, this one focusing on a THEME such as people, sports, music, memories, etc.  Make sure you put the most important things in the middle and the least important things further away from the center.  You may also use different colors and sizes.
