AGENDA:
1. Please read the previous post--a thank you regarding Wednesday
2. Let's play catch up on missing work before the end of the marking period:
a. Turn in study guide #1(through Ch. 8) for Bloodsucking Fiends if you have not already (extra copies available)
b. If you have turned Study Guide #1 in, work on Study Guide #2 (up to Ch. 18)--Handouts available
c. PEER EDITING: Make sure you turn in your PEER EDITING sheet after you edit and discuss another student's story with him or her
3. If you have done all this, begin to think about (even write) your Final Assignment for Bloodsucking Fiends.
Here it is:
FLASH FICTION:
Write a Flash Fiction story (2-3 double-spaced pages) that PARODIES(makes fun of) an established genre (your choice--Science Fantasy, Horror, Romance, Western, etc.). Choose this option if you want to try your hand at HUMOR and PARODY.
or
Write a Flash Fiction story hat follows the conventions and uses the familiar tropes of a HORROR STORY (vampires, werewolves, zombies, ghosts, etc.) or a LOVE STORY.
