Butts in seats, sharpened pencils on paper, fingers on the keyboard...Let's go!
Please work on your play projects. Instead of watching Hedda Gabler (which is due today, please make sure you submit your play analysis for it), use the time in class to write. You got this!
Consider this time a gift--since most of you only write the day or two before an assignment is due. A longer work, though, requires you to write your first draft relatively quickly--allowing you the day or two before the assignment is due to revise, add details & specific language, poetic devices, and development of character through dialogue and monologues.
Use your time wisely in today's class. Plug in, avoid interaction with your peers at this point, and focus on the writing process, please. You may be visited by some special guests later in the class to allow you the comfort and guidance you need. If you need it, here's some motivation about writing...
Workshop: For those who want feedback, at around 8:30-8:45, please choose one peer you feel you can get good feedback from and share your draft if you wish. This is not a requirement, but it will allow you to get some immediate feedback to consider as you continue your writing.
At around 8:45, go back to your writing and end class around 9:00 trying to figure what your play still needs in the days to come.
NOTE: During midterm week (next week) the writing labs will be open all day. You are welcome to stop by and visit us to work on your writing.
ALSO NOTE: There is a final exam for this class. On Friday, I'll cover what material you should study for the final.
HOMEWORK: None. You should probably work on your playscript. Play scripts are due Thursday, Jan. 30. No late work will be accepted because the marking period ends Jan. 31. Our final exam will be Tuesday, Jan. 28.
