Our Lord has written the promise of the resurrection, not in books alone but in every leaf in springtime.

Story Writing

***Important Information about Your Personal Narrative

When we meet on Friday May 11, remember to have the final draft of your personal narrative ready for review by your peers and by me. Once your draft has been reviewed, you will make the changes and hand in the final “published” version on May 18.  This assignment is a large part of your grade, and we don’t have many classes left, so please make the deadlines.

Writer’s Notebook

Please remember to do your Writer’s Notebook assignments and free-writes when assigned. You should also be doing free-write entries in your Writer’s Notebook as often as possible. The more you write, the better writer you will become.
