Students have already begun selecting topics for the 2018 Writers' Workshop period. Today, we talked about where a writer finds inspiration and some of the different perspectives from which a writer can write. At the end of class, each student chose one of the five topics they have already listed. Then, each student had to expand that topic based on:
- Who actually experienced the events that inspired the topic
- Whether or not the writer would tell the truth about the event
- Which three perspectives the writer might explore in the writing
We will talk more about this tomorrow.
