#18 – Fluency: Show, Don’t Tell (10.1)

Write as much as you can during the time given. The focus is on getting ideas and details down on the paper (or screen), rather than on getting the grammar and punctuation perfect. Keep writing instead of editing what you have written.

Pay attention to organization, but not so much that it limits your writing. Stream of consciousness is better than a blank page.

If you are struggling to get started, try changing the prompt a little. Change “he” to “she”; “cat” to “dog”; “worst” to “best” and see if it helps.

Prompt:

It was a nice day.

or

He was hungry.

When you discover a missing or incomplete assignment, add it to a list under this heading. Be sure to write down the date so you can find the correct page in Canvas.

After we check, I want you to address the following questions:

1. Does your list feel manageable?

If not, please check with me right away. We will change that!

If it feels manageable, when can you make time for these assignments? Put this in your planner and follow-through. You should determine the time and place you will do the work or else it may not happen.

2. Do you know where to find the assignment, the instructions, and where to turn it in?

3. How are things going so far in general? Is there anything Mr. H can do to help meet your needs in this class?
