Quick Write 10/19/12

Good Morning and GO GIANTS!

For today's Quick Write, get out the "Nothing Gold Can Stay" poem from yesterday.  Then, think about everything that is "golden" in your life . . . in other words, those things, people, or events that you value and hold dear.  Write a paragraph about the "golden" places of your life.

10/18/12

Get out:
1.  Grammar: People and Cultures (Put it on your desk number)
2.  Start a NEW Quick Writes piece of paper.  Set it up in MLA format.

Answer this Quick Write:
The end of the quarter is TOMORROW.  Write down everything you've learned in English class.  Don't say "nothing," because I know I've taught you so many things.  Write at least 1-2 paragraphs.  If I'm feeling ornery and unsympathetic, I MIGHT collect this and call it a QUIZ when you're done.  Mwa ha ha!  Does that make you feel dumbfounded?  Or maybe incredulous?
