Portfolio Due!
Today please work in the lab to complete the following:
1. The portfolio (please include all creative writing work from this marking period: the surrealistic project, various poems based on Spanish writers, a fairy tale or dramatic monologue, the French narrative poem assignment, and any other writing.)
2. Include a revision of one of your drafts in your portfolio.
3. Read: the French contemporary packet (we may start this 2nd period)
HOMEWORK: Read and complete the French contemporary writing packet. Pick one poem or short story or a combination of these things (steal a line, use a word spill, borrow a character, write a similiar theme/setting, borrow an idea, create a found piece, etc.) and write a 1-3 page something.
Ideas: write a critique of one of the poets (Anne-Marie Albiach, Jacques Roubaud, Philippe Denis) in the style of a book review for a magazine, write literary criticism, take a theme or idea from one of the poems/stories and write a personal creative essay, take a character from Colette's story and a character from Boulanger's and put them in a specific setting to create a dramatic scene, write about an enigma, a secret tryst, a star, a croissant...the possibilities are endless.
