What do we enjoy in poems and stories?
Objective: Students will evaluate strengths in writing and explain their evaluations.
1. We shared some of our creativity in our class poetry slam.
2. We each quick-wrote a story about a time that we learned something.
3. In small groups, we read several sets of our classmates' stories, chose favorites, and discussed what we liked about them.
4. As a class, we assembled a list of features we like in stories and discussed the range of power in stories.
For next time: Relax and return ready for 2nd semester!
