In Class:
Journal-- Using detailed, descriptive, step-by-step instructions, explain how to hypothetically do something illegal.
GMX-- Quiz on prepositions, verbs, run-ons, comma splices, fragments, and complete sentences.
Studied flash fiction using "An Unspoken Hunger" by Terry Tempest Williams, "Lights" by Stuart Dybek, and "Sweet Sixteen" by Gary D. Wilson. Discussed conventions of flash fiction: short form (500-ish words), economy of words, exceptionally accurate diction, feeling of 'starting in the middle,' powerful concluding lines, and (most importantly) implication.
Used collaborative fiction from yesterday to create flash fiction pieces in 100 words or fewer.
Homework:
Read "Fire Storm" by Alexie by Monday if you have not already.
Finish in-class flash fiction exercise.
Prepare Monday Submission #5.
Catch up on missing work.
