Welcome to Class!
Today we will attempt to nail down that nebulous idea
of the purpose behind writing. Writing that has a purpose is driven,
informed, and readable since the author has a
goal. We will start by defining and describing a quality we admire in
someone we love, then we will examine a poem to discover its purpose, and
lastly, we will have a chance to meet with some other readers to tell our stories
quickly and listen to what they think our purpose is from hearing our stories.
ACTIVITIES:
1. IN CLASS JOURNAL: Describe and define one quality you admire in someone you love.
2. In Class Reading Groups: Discovering Purpose in a POEM: "One Art"
3. In Class Groups: Tell your story and and ask others to guess at your purpose.
