Snapshot MomentWe have been looking at lots of examples of snapshot moments (writing about a moment when time slowed down), as well as the techniques authors have used to slow time down in their writing. On Thursday I will be collecting your drafts, so have them completed along with a draft question for me: write down a question for me to give you feedback on after I read your draft (ie. how are the conventions? Can I organize this differently?). Writer's NotebookI will also be collecting your Writer's Notebooks on Thursday, so make sure all of your Quick Writes are in the notebook as well as the mini-lessons we have completed in the Writer's Craft section.
