Prose Pros

Dear Periods 1 and 9,

That is what you will become over the next few months: an expert at the genre of prose! (Get it? Prose PROS? Eh? Eh? :)

As of today, Monday, February 7, we are officially kicking off our semester of prose, where we will be exploring and creating short stories, personal narratives, fifty-five fiction pieces, humor writings, and so much more.

We will take time this week to free-write our way into this new semester, do some explorations in the class library, and begin thinking about the stories that have been the most signficant in our own lives.

Our first "official" prose unit will be Fifty-Five fiction! Can YOU write an entire story - complete with characters, setting, conflict, and resolution - in just fifty-five words or fewer? Stay tuned to Room 215 for more information regarding this type of prose writing!

Thankful that midterms are finally finished and looking forward to getting into some great writing assignments with you,
Ms. Strout
