Lab Time
Today you have time in the lab to do the following tasks (attempt them in any order).
1. We are currently in our French unit. Research your French topic if you haven't done so yet. Presentations will be delivered next week along with your test and discussion on The Stranger.
2. Write something new. We are currently in our French unit. We have covered French children's fiction lately (The Little Prince, Babar, Madeline, The Red Balloon). Write a story for children inspired by one of these, for example. OR: we have read poetry and fiction from contemporary French poets and writers. Use any theme or setting or idea from one of these readings to inspire your own work. OR: You are reading The Stranger which has to do with existentialism. Look up and read about existentialism or any philosophical idea you can find on the web and use it to inspire your own writing. OR: write a personal reflection (like a memoir) about any idea we have dealt with this year that you have not had the time or interest up to this point (until today) to delve into. We have covered quite a bit of ground in this course from cultural difference (for example the differences between the French and the US), to ethics, to psychology. Use these ideas to inspire your writing. OR: take any prompt, writing task, activity or advice from Ms. Gamzon's class and use it to write something for THIS class.
3. Revise your portfolio. Read the blog post under this one. It's long and informative. Read it. Select any piece in your portfolio or that you have in your journal or half-baked in your brain and work with it to create a new draft. Read the blog post just below these words. Read the post under this one. Read my advice to you about making your work stronger. Read the post below. Spend your time today on any of these three tasks. Then read the post below.
