Eliana's First Post

Agenda:
Blog
The Outsiders Ch.2
Who are you?

HW: 
Shakespeare/ Book info
Who Are You? (final draft due Tuesday)

Today we began by sharing our reading journals with an elbow partner and talking in detail about chapter 2. It's pretty obvious that almost everyone here ships Chonyboy (Cherry and Ponyboy). After that we went back to My Life as a Writer and discussed the writing process. In case anyone forgot to write it down it was;
Pre-writing: outline, brainstorm, thinking about what to write. 
Drafting: write it down, prose use sentences and paragraphs, poetry lines and stanzas. 
Revising: big idea changes. 
Editing: check spelling, punctuation, capitalization, word choice.
Publishing: Sharing your writing.

Finally, we began our Who Are You? project where we have to show who we are on a piece of paper. It was a really fun day!


Here's everyone working hard on their projects.
