05.30 - Writing and Reading w/ The Hunger Games

At the beginning of class today, I handed out an author's reflection sheet (see handouts below) for people to use to analyze their creative writing stories on chapter 11 from The Hunger Games. Everyone then had the rest of the period to complete these stories and work on their reading/reading logs for The Hunger Games.

The work for the day followed the steps below; only moving on to the next activity when previous steps were completed.

- Complete 150 word (or more) draft of chapter 11 writing assignment
- Use creative writing tips to revise and develop chapter 11 writing to 200 words (or more)
- Share story via Google Drive
- Complete author's reflection on chapter 11 writing
- Turn in author's reflection
- Continue reading The Hunger Games through chapter 21 (filling out reading logs as you go)
- Turn in reading logs

Handouts:
