More Remembering

Freewrite: Think about your childhood and presents.

Was there once ONE thing you just had to have?

Was there something that others might not approve of (for gender or other reasons)?

Was there one thing you never got, or one item you received but always wondered why ?

Or why you ever wanted it in the first place?



Then read the Rodriguez piece.

Annotate your copy of his essay for his use of sensory detail/specific scenes/contrasts/conflicts/point of view. At the bottom explain what the point of this piece is.

Do Ex. 26.2 (page 269) in your journal.


Homework:

1. Prepare your second draft for class tomorrow. Make sure that your scenes are building your main idea, not distracting from it.

2. One vocabulary word.
