IRA: Author's Craft
Look for at minimum a sentence and better yet a passage
that really impresses you with how the author writes. Was it their word choice? How they slowed down a moment? Their “show don't tell” technique? On Friday, be prepared to share your author's
cool craft with the class. You need to
turn in a copy of this author's craft with the passage highlighted (or feel
free to hand copy the passage and include the page number). Write down what struck you about this
particular part.
Grammar Focus: Adverbs
*Genre projects (historical fiction brochures) are due NO LATER THAN 11/25!
