Hi everyone,
Q1. What's your plan or goal for finishing your writing this week? (By Monday)
Q2. Can you bring a draft of your 2nd piece on Monday for peer review?
If you are behind schedule, please try to catch up!
Reminders:
-If you haven't written a reaction to Kathleen's talk, please do so.
-If you haven't responded to the Mid-Term Questionnaire, this is your final chance. It is almost the end of the term...
-Keep up your blogging/commenting. See the new commenting groups.
-Most importantly, move the process of your writing/publishing forward according to your schedule!
To review, basically, it is 8 steps:
1) Brainstorm theme/genre, discuss ideas with partners --> 2) See mentor texts (pieces of a similar genre on the web etc.) to get good ideas --> 3) write draft --> 4) show and get feedback --> 5) revise --> 6) show and get feedback --> 7) edit, get help with editing --> 8) publish with author's note, thanking your helpers.
See you on Monday!
This is a course of free personal expression and creative writing at International Christian University in Tokyo. Each member of the class is an "author" with freedom to choose any theme, genre, format, and length they feel will be meaningful for them. The goal is to develop life-long writers who use English not only as a tool for professions, but as a way for self-expression that can connect and communicate with readers all over the world. Please enjoy and leave comments!
