"If I waited till I felt like writing, I'd never write at all." - Anne Tyler

Week Six.

 Challenge Writing Tasks.



As usual, drafty draft above, less drafty drafts below.

The first task follows 300 Love Letters as mentor texts. I chose the color yellow, chose to write a love letter for a stranger.

But, there's something about letters... a particular essence they maintain for the simple reason that they are the product of your hand unmediated by the computer, by the distance and impersonality of Times New Roman (font size twelve, always).

So I'm not going to take that away from my little letter. It will stay a drafty written draft.

✎

The second task is a short, (hopefully) cohesive piece that integrates (or tries to) unusual words fluently. Clicking on differently colored words will direct you to their definitions.

This isn't 
knismesis
this is 
a gargalesis

She is forced to
a position of 
decubitus

As his laughter
reverberates
like 
brontide

She pleads
giggles
please no

The gargalesthesia
reduces her pleading
to 
inaniloquent
snatches of speech

The laughter
causing her to
be in a state of
hamartithia

Tickling.

Week Nine. Mentor Text. I’m taking a page out of Scott McCloud’s book here (literally).  What I particularly love about McCloud is that not only does he write about his ideas, he shows them. He explains by doing. Pictured here is page 35 of his Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art. (His entire book is brilliant, but this particular page is an easily isolated and wonderfully brief example of his brilliance, making it an excellent mentor text.) But why do I think it can be a mentor text in the first place? Well, it passes my test (more on that later) and, probably more importantly, it passes Marchetti’s and O’Dell’s test for mentor texts. Is it engaging? It’s comics and wickedly self-referential- what kid can pass up a comic in place of pages of picture-less words and what cool kid isn’t intrigued by the meta? Does it pass the highlighter test? Okay, this one is a little harder to address, I’ll give you that. It does, however, give the students an idea and ...

Week Five. Challenge Writing Tasks. The title for this week’s writing comes from Stephen King, but I believe that Katherine Bomer would heartily agree, as she says that reading “teach[es] us how words can look and sound on the page, and most often, [reading] can offer up surprising differences from the staid old notions of good writing that we picked up in our own schooling… the point is to read so that we can teach with insider knowledge our lessons about both reading and writing” (76). Task 1. Part one of Task 1 is the "Hello it's me" letter. Part two of Task 1 is a combination of observation, interview, and writing territory (inspired by the writing tasks offered). These entries didn't lend themselves to keyboard revision; I think these belong on paper.  Immediately below are the entries from my GED students (taken from the right page pictured above) answering some questions on writing introduced by my mentor teacher to the not-so-different emerg...

Week Four. Challenge Writing Tasks. Drafts pictured above. Slightly less drafty drafts typed below. I. With “Here’s What ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ Can Teach You About Life”  as a mentor text, here’s my own “Five Things A Semester of College as an English Education Major Can Teach You About Life.” In the wise words of Theodore Roosevelt, “Comparison is the thief of joy.” You will never be the very best at everything, or maybe not even the very best at anything. You’ll exhaust yourself trying. You have to be the very best you. You have your own thing going for you. Don’t compare that to what someone else has going for them- you may lose sight of your own abilities by lusting for theirs. It goes the other way, too- you never know who’s wishing they had what you have. I am a very excitable person. I always find myself watching these beautifully calm people accomplish amazing things because of their confident composure. I think, wow, it must be so g...
