Review of strategies for "slowing down time" and "voice in writing".  Used Mentor texts "Violet" and "Night"  and Donald Mills(handouts)   Studied mentor text "Tell Tale Heart" excerpt (Edgar Allan Poe) for conventional artistry and the ability to show "voice" in writing.  Looked at dashes, exclamation marks and italics.   Response to Donald Mills due Friday. 1/2 page -3/4 page letter responding to his blog "The Problem with Young People Today..." Use the strategies he uses to create voice in writing.  Write from perspective of a sterotypical teenager.
