I loved reading your final stories and reading through the altered books. Great work.

Have an amazing summer, and I will see you next year.

–Miss Rankin

Prose/Essay: 5 org. pieces, with illustrations

IF… you choose to combine the poetry/essay elements of the final with your Altered book, you will simply add the number of assignments to the altered book.

If you are drawing blanks, here are a couple sites that have Creative Writing Prompts:

So…. You can get to my writing if you look under “Pages” (in the upper right corner).

Your pages are looking pretty good, I can’t wait to read your writing!

–Miss Rankin

I’m looking to see FIVE entries that are some form of creative writing (poetry, prose, essays, etc.) by the end of the six-weeks.  An entry must have at least 10 lines (or 150 words) to count.  Longer essays will count for two entries, shorter entries will count for half of a post.  

Due Date: 11/15/2007
