Homework: Due on October 5th

Descriptive Writing Assignment:

On October 5, the rough draft for your descriptive writing assignment is due.  You may write about any experience or event that you believe is worth sharing with others.  In the writing, I will be looking for the following:
1) Descriptive language – SHOW me don’t tell me what is happening in the piece.
2) A clear purpose – The writing should clearly SHOW a certain point of view, idea, concept, or point of view related the events.
3) At least 2 to 3 pages in length.

* For the rough draft, I am not going to pay attention to grammar.  At this point it is more important to use good descriptive language and to clearly convey your idea or your purpose for writing.  We will worry more about grammar issues when you produce a final draft.


You should also bring a completed FUNCTIONAL OUTLINE on October 5th (you can follow the guidelines posted last week.
