We will be doing an in class creative writing unit that goes along with the text. You will have 20 minutes to respond to a creative writing prompt pertaining to the chapter read from the night before at the beginning of class. You will then share your work with two fellow students in your writing group, each reading the others work. You’ll take a couple of minutes to list some likes and dislikes and some areas of improvement.
You will have to hold on to each assignment because you will be turning in your creative writing journal at the end of the text. You’ll also need to select four of the assignments to expand on in final draft form that you will turn in at the culmination of the text (typed and at least 2 pages).

There will be 14 journal responses to be turned in at the end. Four of which need to be typed final drafts. Each journal will be worth 5 points, and each final draft will be worth 35 points.
