Actually, the fact that we were beginning the writing process for short stories today was NO rumor and NO secret! I hope that you are excited to know that you will be entering into the creative, challenging, mind-bending, and RECURSIVE process known as writing. I will give you a rubric-don't panic. I just want you to let your creative juices flow before you get tied down to requirements. Remember that tomorrow we will continue to write in the classroom, so come with an open mind and any other item that helps your creativity, such as music or pictures.

Week's schedule:
Monday                                                                                                           HW-WRITE!
