Creative+Writing

At the beginning of the nine weeks, you introduced yourself to me via a letter. Over the course of 9 weeks, you have revealed even more of yourself on paper. You have written about long lost memories, drawn on your own experiences, crafted precise beginnings to stories, and invented characters with depth and motivation. You have bravely shared writing with the rest of the class with mere moments to edit.

Now I want to give you an opportunity to share your precise motivations as a writer. I also want to give you a chance to practice portfolio reflection elements so that you know precisely what I am expecting from you.

Please write a letter to me. Copy the GoogleDoc and share it with frye@ht-sd.org. Include the following:

1. Choose ONE of your pieces of writing to reflect on - clearly label it 2. Use the Reflective Writing packet to compose a reflection of this one piece of writing. 3. Answer all questions under "Related to a Specific Piece of Writing" on page 2 4. Now, turn the focus inward - speak honestly and directly 5. I want you to speak about yourself and your motivations for writing, what has changed in your or about you or to you that drives you to write 6. If you are stuck, please use the "About You As a Writer" on page 2
