Book Review: Brief Description

Give us a general idea about the book you are reading for review before we meet again on April 7!

Pieces for Publication and/or Comment

Anything at all. We'll start with Marco's review of 127 Hours and work from there. I'll publish Linda's piece on TV and the law before our newsletter goes out next week and the two recipes, too, so people can try them over the holidays!

Thanks all of you for making this class my favourite every week.

For The Pearson Buzz

Any pieces you think might be published at The Buzz should be submitted here . . .

More Narrative Essay Work

Either a new piece, part of a piece, revision of a piece. Whatever you have, here's the place to put it for review in next week's class. Remember your focus, no matter what it is, needs to be on your mind as you write. We should be sure exactly why you are telling us (showing us) something.

What influence has the person had on you? How can you illustrate that influence in a way that is understandable and enjoyable?

Good luck!
