Timed Writing #2: September 11, 2018

Focus: How can we synthesize what we've learned so far into a persuasive timed writing?

1. Warming up with a partner reading of today's timed writing poem (10 minutes)

• Imagery (appeals to the five senses)
• Shifts (circle your buts)
• Patterns (especially dichotomies)

2. Looking back to your previous timed writing to remind yourself what you need to work on in terms of structure

3. Enjoying your first poetry timed writing (40 min); start no later than 1:45

HW:
1. For WEDNESDAY: Read Chapters 11, 12, and 13. Also, you will have about 20 minutes of in-class reading. You're welcome!

2. For FRIDAY: Read Chapters 14, 15, and 16 and compose a reading ticket for Socratic.

3. For next THURSDAY, SEP 20: College essays due (you'll a get a "Night-Before Checklist" next week).
