Don't forget that we will be having a celebration on Friday at Jose's on Dickson St. Afterward, the teens can leave with their parents or come back to the Grad Ed building. Also, your teen should bring home a parent survey to be completed by Friday if possible. For more information, please view the post titled "Information for Parents."
Today at Teenswrite, the first order of buisness was to go over the different aspects of starting a story, such as using dialogue, introducing characters, using action, or introducing the setting. Our guest speaker, Camilla Medders, went more in-depth on the subject by using excerts of non-fiction pieces to show how it could be applied to all types of writing.
After we ate lunch (once again at the Union), we used the Quickwrite from Monday (secrets) to do anothe piece from the perspective of someone that did not know the secret that the main character had. We also did an "excercise" on observing the behavior of people around us. We chose two people out of the group to spy on, and we watched their actions while making sure that they didn't notice. Then we put the exercise to use and went into the library to observe the people around us. We also saw our friend with the fedora again; however, he didn't have the baloon.

We ended the wonderful day with free-writing time and response groups.
