D block class needs to write a short story revolving around a personal secret. If you did not turn one in already, write a short narrative about a personal experience. For both pieces, focus on using strong, active verbs and being brief--no extra words.
C block class is in poetry mode, so focus on the poetry pieces for your portfolio. You will do the same things as the D block class soon, and vice versa.
Anyone who was not in class Friday come see me to get a couple of important handouts.

Welcome to the beginning of the rest of your life
Yes, it is here--your last semester as a high school student. This is not the same as saying, "High school is finished." We still have work to do, and there is always more to learn.
Our first unit this semester will be creative writing. Details will be given in class. In addition, you will be doing independent reading, culminating in presentations and other projects. For your first book, choose a book, either fiction or non-fiction, that provides insight into another culture. Bring it to class Friday, Feb. 6th.
