Writing 110: Today we spent some time "reading like writers".  We looked at an excerpt from Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner and examined the strategies that he used to create a snapshot moment.  Excellent work!   English 10: Today we looked at another mentor text of a personal essay.  In groups, the students dissected the text, looking for evidence of the write traits that pertain to personal essays.  They also came up with improvements for each of the traits.   Please pick up a hard cover writers notebook over the weekend!
