The Writing Process

"Quantity produces quality. If you only write a few things, you're doomed." Ray Bradbury (SF writer)


Copy and thinkwrite. Discuss.


Groups share recipes. Discuss.


All read pages 7-11. Then copy red headings into your daybook in a way that maintains the hierarchy.


Establish a vocabulary section in your daybook. Flag. Enter TWFTD: drudgery. Hive definition? Google? For this word, today, you may use the quote from the book. BUT for all other words, you must choose and copy down your favorite quote AND GIVE THE SOURCE --an author and a site or publication.

Homework:


1. Read pages 12-15 in Bedford. In your daybook, write out two paragraphs based on the "Learning by Doing" at the bottom of page 13.


2. Find TWO EXAMPLES of written directions to bring to class. These could be the directions for any product OR a school assignment OR a "how to" from online OR in a manual. They must be hard copies.
