Today we began work on our historical fiction story starts. We began class by brainstorming historical events/settings about which we feel knowledgeable. If you're struggling with your current topic, remember that you can always go back to this list for ideas.
After brainstorming, students got to work writing. About fifteen minutes into writing, I stopped everyone and we spoke briefly about time period appropriate language, names, behaviors, etc. If you have questions about these sorts of details as you write, come in and ask either myself of Mr. Rice!
Homework due tomorrow:
--Expository essay test for A Raisin in the Sun. Bring digital and paper copies of all three outlines!
Long term due dates:
5/27--Historical fiction story start due
5/31--Book Talk #1
