We will be reading and discussing themes and content in small groups!
Every morning we will start with a quick write, this will range from analyzing poetry, writing whatever comes to mind, to being given a word and creating a story around it. We need lots of paper, pencils, and sleep!
This is a writing intensive course! Be prepared to be creative and analytical!
What We
Need
For project one we will be looking at what makes a good flyer. We will analyze genre, audience, purpose, conventions, and tone. We will revise a flyer found at Bronco Bash and then create our own. There will be multiple drafts as well as a written portion that will justify our decisions.
