Class Minutes, Tues. Jan 5th

The "This I Believe Personal Essay" typed and double-spaced, as well as the first personal reflections journal prompt (subject of broken promises) are due on Mon. Dec. 11th. In class we started the creative non-fiction unit. We read on overhead called, "Advice for Publication" and a handout on the submissions guidelines for Chataleine magazine. Then, we read a list of magazine "hot topics." Each student selected a magazine and did a masthead examination for a magazine research handout, which is due next class. Please bring a newspaper to class on Thursday for our clip file activity.
