Thursday:
Goal: Portfolio time!
HW: I need portfolio links and hard copies. Just send a link to aspare@lps.k12.co.us
Check it first!
First Step: non-seniors, I need your hard copies.
If you have a Wix site, bring it up on a lap top. If you went low-tech, take out your portfolio.
1. Open you web site
2. Open up a word document
3. Five different rotations. Find someone else's site. Look it over. Read some poetry and/or some fiction.
4. Write the person a note on the word document about your overall impressions of the site. Try to make at least one comment about something specific.
5. Seniors get ready to read something out loud!

week of 5/7/13
Thursday:
Goal: Begin/Continue reflecting on your development as a writer (for the portfolio).
HW: On-line Portfolios are due Thursday. No extensions. There's not time.
First Step: Come up with three metaphors that describe your artistic style. This should be about your writing, but feel free to expand. There is art to virtually anything we do really well: drawing, cooking, lying, playing basketball, being a family member, etc. Often our approaches to other things will affect our writing style.
Examples: Maybe your poetry is "quilted." Maybe it's a "buzzsaw." Maybe your prose "crossing guard" prose.
Then, 7 rules.
Example:
Quilted Poetry Rule #1: When putting pieces together, make sure to wear a thimble so the needle doesn't stick you.
Quilted Poetry Rule #2: It's not just how the individual pieces of a poem look, it's about the combination once everything's sewn together.
If time--do some work on your portfolios.
Once you finish: Add this assignment to your portfolio.
