ENGLISH 9

Creative Writing: 

"How do our decisions affect ourselves and others?"

1. Review the Quick Scale: Grade 9 Writing Personal Views or Response (handout)
2. Reread your personal response that was started last day and asked to do for homework (What are the dangers of stereotypes?  What can people do to break free from stereotypes?  Why is this important?)
3. Assess your own work on this scale.  Be honest.  Staple this scale to your work and hand in.  I'll take a look and assess to see how they compare.
4. Read and discuss Diary Entry 24 from from The Freedom Writer's Diary.
5. Personal Response writing from the prompt: Think of a person in your life who symbolizes the same hope Ms. G and her students offered this student.  Explain what that person means to you.
6. Other entries from The Freedom Writer's Diary (if time).
