Today we started with a quote from Pablo Picasso: "Art is the lie that tells the truth." Then we went over the 1=25 sheet, to help us come up with further ideas for writing. You can download and print the sheet here. Then we covered the grading of our journals, and briefly touched on the multi-genre paper. The handout for those two is right here. Next, we wrote in our Writers Notebook for 20 minutes. Then we read some vignettes (vignette: a brief, evocative description, account or episode) from Sandra Cisnero's The House on Mango Street. We discussed how our 2x2 picture frame is a good way explore our world. Then, we talked about sharing with the Japanese "A Day in My Life." The rubric for that assignment is here. Remember, focus on a notable event in your day, and draw your reader into that scene. Avoid the "Bed to Bed" style.
