English: The letter to an author moves to draft 2. Begin by filling out the
          self-edit sheet. Then annotate (mark up) your draft 1. Feel free to make a
         real mess of it! Finally compose draft 2. It will save you much time later if          you type draft 2 on the computer (double-spaced, Times Roman, 12-point or          other plain font). Staple in this order: d. 2 on top, self-edit sheet in the
         middle, d. 1 on the bottom.

Reading: Period 5: complete "Using the Context" p. 27 and underline clues
_____________________________________________________________

English: Due TOMORROW

Draft 1 of a process essay. Draft 1 is normally done in handwriting. Write on only one side of a page so that you can spread the essay out in front of you for revision.

Compose a letter to an author, living or dead, in which you explain how his or her book changed your view of the world of yourself. The length is eventually 2 1/2 pages typed double spaced.

Select a fiction or nonfiction book that you have read (and have not entered in this contest before). You should have strong feelings about the work. Explore those feelings and how you reacted the way you did during and after reading the book.

did the characters, conflict or setting mirror your life in some way? What strengths or flaws do you share with a character in the book? What did the book show you about your world that you never noticed before? What surprised you about yourself when you were reading this book? Why was this work meaningful to you personally?

Your letter should be honest, conversational, and friendly, using your natural voice. Do NOT summarize the plot. The author already knows what happened. What the author doesn't know is how the book affected you. Do not compliment the author, other than to thank the person for writing the book. Gushing flattery does not support your point.

There should be one or more specific quotes from the book to support your generalizations, so you will have to relocate the book. This is due Tuesday, so you have time.

Go to this site to read some examples of past winning entries.
