5.29 - Hunger Games Fiction Revision

We started today's class off by reviewing the creative writing tips that we covered in class yesterday. We also took a few minutes to review the bonus elements on the Homeric simile.

Everyone then had the rest of the period to revise their Hunger Games stories based on chapter eleven. After revisions have been made stories should be at least 200 words, but can be much longer.

When people finished their revisions they had the option to share their story with someone else in the class and get their feedback. Completed stories should be shared with me on Google Drive.

Remaining time in the period was to be used reading The Hunger Games and completing reading logs (a log for chapters 18 - 20 is due for tomorrow).


Handouts:
Hunger Games - Chapter 11 (writing prompt - 150 word minimum)
Creative Writing Tips

Hunger Games Reading Schedule (includes reading logs)

If you did not do so in class, finish responding to the "Hunger Games - Chapter 11" writing prompt.

Complete a reading log on Katniss OR Peeta for chapters 18-20.
(For a 100, note characteristics for both Katniss and Peeta and then, in your discussion compare and contrast them in these chapters).
