Maxine Clair

 AGENDA:

1. Several of you still need to finish your "House on Mango Street" vignette books.  That should be your priority this class.

2. For those of you who have finished your books and want extra credit, work on completing your iMovie.  I will still accept iMovies for extra credit!

3. For those of you who have completed your books and iMovies, please go next door and share one or more of your vignettes with each other.  Part of being in a creative writing course is being able to share and workshop your writing with fellow students, not just the teachers.

4. And then, take a look at Maxine Clair's poetry.   The links are below.  Play a writing prompt game we call "Steal a Line".  Obviously, find a line or two from one of her poems and use it to write a poem of your own.  you can use her lines anywhere in your poem.
