Good Morning my lovely students,
Today you will complete a blog post in class. Yes, you read that sentence correctly, IN class. Here's your mission for today. Since this week's post was about characters, I'd like you to write a 6 word memoir from the point of view of your character. If you were this character what would your poem say? After you write your memoir, follow it by a paragraph explaining what the memoir means and how it relates to the character. Basically, explain to the audience what the memoir means. See my example below.
"Doctor on Board. Need engine, FAST!!!"
I'm at the beginning of a new novel called Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese. One of the main characters is a doctor named Hema. She's on a plane on an in country flight in Ethopia going to Djibouti. The plane is this little rickety puddle jumper. All of a sudden the plane starts to take a dive apparently an engine failed and it seems like it's going to crash. Although she's a doctor, this will not save her life right now. What she really needs is for the engine to start working again. A little boy happens to fall in her lap and is wailing because his leg got stuck in a seat and is now broken. She'll be able to help him if they both can survive. But will they?
Happy Friday!
