September 13

Homework

  • Writing Minutes
  • Freewriting * (The last message from the starship was, "Let us drift.  It's for your own good."
  • Begin writing your humorous essay. 
    • Remember, a humorous essay is gentle in tone.  The author is laughing with the audience and characters not at them.
    • Your essay may use stories (often exaggerated) to illustrate you points, or you may use incongruity to humorously address your topics.  Last week's essay used stories as illustrations.  This week's essay used incongruity (what is supposed to happen vs. what actually happens).
    •  You may turn in your draft if you complete it this week.  If not, you have until the 28th before it is "officially" due!
    • Here is the essay I shared in class this week. 

* Complete all other writing assignments before you begin freewriting.
