Truth of War: Ideas!

Starter #15

  1. What part of the writing process is most difficult for you?   Why do you think this is hard for you?  (Brainstorming, drafting, organizing thoughts, critique, revision, more revision, proofreading, finalizing)
  2. How do you usually come up with ideas for writing?  
Perspective Statements
Follow the directions on the perspective statement critique handout.

When you're done with the critique, on the back of the critique handout, write:
  1. What new ideas do you have for your own paper after looking at other people's  perspectives?
  2. Read through what other people did with your perspective statements.  Based on the revisions they made and what they said, what is one revision you want to make to your perspective?
  3. Revise, wordsmith, hone your perspective.  Play with different word combinations and sentence structures.  Come to class on Friday with a perspective statement you think you can write about!
HOMEWORK:
Finish and PRINT your Slaughterhouse Five Seminar Reflection.  It is due at the START of class tomorrow.  Make sure you print before class!  Proofread!  Check to make sure you have your evidence!
