Prompts and work for week of 9/16

Monday: Take your personality test here: http://icould.com/buzz/
After you get your animal, please send me an email, answering the following questions:

Which strengths do you share in common with your animal?  What challenges do you face because of your personality type?  What helps you reduce stress or be more successful?  What should another student working with you know about you to make the partnership work well? A related thought you may include in your e-mail to help me when I assign writing partners:  Is there anyone I should avoid pairing you with?

Homework for rest of week: Continue to write each day, at least one page. Weekly check will happen on Friday, 9/20.
Also, FOR NEXT WEEK: 2-3 minute story about a telling moment in your life. You will share this story in one of three ways:
1. Improv style: no notes, just telling us a story.
2. Written: come up to front of class with a written piece that you share.
3. Recorded (with video) and projected during class.

You can check out "The Moth" website for ideas of this genre. See Resources on the right-hand side of the blog.

We'll make a schedule on Monday.
