Our first Author's Chair was a HUGE success. Thank you to each class for bringing something truly unique to our writing community - and thanks to all who chose to participate! I look forward to this Friday when we will do it all again. However, we will talk a little bit about language choices that honor our environment and listeners - all which well help us to be better artists and writers.
The following is our tentative plan for the week. Please be sure to attend class and keep track of your writing and assignments.
