Day 6: In-class Writing Day is AWESOME!!

1. Get a laptop
2. Pick your favorite writing program (Pages, Word, Google Drive, etc)
3. Set-up a document with name in upper left OR right corner
4. Tell yourself YOU ARE AMAZING!

• Prompt

Question 2: Insider / Outsider

First Paragraph: Junior frequently feels alienated from his own community as well as from that of Reardan. How does being an outsider affect Junior? Is he ever an insider?

Second Paragraph: In what circumstances have you been an outsider or an insider? How have those experiences influenced you?

• 10 minutes of pre-writing/brainstorming

This can come in the format of an outline, a mind map, a free write, etc. I just want to see some planning on your part before you write. I want to see your process.

• Writing!

Get down to business. You can use the blog, the sentence patterns, an online dictionary and/or thesaurus to craft your ideas. You cannot use your book, any prewritten notes, any sources other than previously mentioned.

You do need to copy and paste the rubric into your own paper. Please include it at the end of your writing. An added note: the formatting will look great in Word and Drive, but it will look at a little wacky in Pages. That is ok.

• Handing this in

1. Save the document as a PDF (this can be done under SAVE AS in Word or EXPORT in Pages). Make sure you click the box that says "show extension"
2. Title the document as follows: Name_PTI_1_B/C.pdf
3. Email yourself a copy of the non PDF version of writing.
4. Go to dropitto.me/mcollie to submit paper (Password: EnglishRocks).
5. Check in with Mary quietly to make sure she has received your paper.
6. Return laptop to cart and plug it in.
7. Quietly rejoice because you are finished. You can read ahead, do other homework, or otherwise relax. Regardless, you must stay in the room and you must remain silent. =-)
