Hand in disclosure signatures and VIP forms if you have them ready to return.  They are due by next time.
Don't forget your composition books.

  1. Bell-Ringer: Responding to  poem/ writing about summer 
  2. See the class blog. 
  3. Students continue to share their "headlines."
  4. Receive the Me-Bag Assignment.  . . .
  5.  The Writing Process -- What is it?  What is yours? (circles?)
    Next time:

    PREWRITING is what you do to get ready to write (draft).
    We use PREWRITING to
    -- Gather Ideas and Details
    -- Focus (narrow) the topic
    -- Decide on a tentative organization for the piece
    Much of PREWRITING happens before we start to draft (actually write it down), but we often go back to PREWRITING activities when we need more ideas and details, or need more focus, or decide to modify the organization.
