Today we went over the words for Vocabulary 13, which is due on 4.26.10. Then, we worked on our Rough Drafts, preparing for the Final Draft, which is due this Friday, 4.16.10. Finally, we started our unit on creative writing, by defining Creative Non-Fiction and looking at two examples. The New Yorker piece by David Sedaris can be found here. And the Malcolm Gladwell piece from Slate.com can be found here. Mr. Ankeny's story can be read here.
For further examples of Creative Non-Fiction, or creative diaries, check out Slate.com's diary page, here.
