  10. Crot Not all writing has to be the same. Quick, easy, neat. The students scurry for their pens, On the walls…rules In the text book– rules Everything is the same The book says so, the teacher says so, so… Everything is the same— Including my writing.

  11. Crot It doesn’t matter what you write or say. It is all going to be the same—follow the rules; Rules should be and must be followed. I can’t even remember what I am writing about because everything is the same.

  12. Crot Samples Liam is my little love but quite a challenge How do I keep up? How can I be in three places at one time? Books, cooking, meal planning, grading papers- In fact, I feel like I am stretched to be in more than three places at one time. Books, playing games, finding the energy to be silly or sing another song, or perhaps the same song for the 10th time Liam is my little love and that is why I take on the challenge.

  13. Lab “You know, I have already had one of those days where you don’t get up in time, you are faltering all over the house, you lose your keys, you think you have a meeting but it really turns out it is tomorrow but Truc says she could cover for me and then what is for today is really tomorrow!”

  14. List Crot College-- Frustrating Paper work Fees… Who decides? Wait Ponder Agonize Stress… When will they decide? Colleges are not all the same Frustrating, paper work, fees. Behind the desk, my application sits. Who decides? I wait, ponder, agonize When will they decide?

  15. List list Cross-out, mark, circle, and highlight Erase, circle, cross-out Think, stuck, cross-out Draft, edit, revise… Cross-out, stuck, cannot think Writer’s block. Grading papers Hours upon hours 10 minutes per paper Comments, comments, mark. Pass them back Comments pass them by.

  16. Double Voice • Internal thoughts • Can be a single person’s thoughts or multiple points-of-view or perspectives • Placement of words (Typography) is important to understanding where the ideas should be read at the same time or individually • The genre or form does not have to be a poem but is often seen in poetic form

  17. Repetend • Repetition • A word, idea, phrase, quote etc…. • Style & affect (not to beat it into your audience’s mind)

  18. Voice Homework • Use at least 2 different voice techniques we learned in class. • Write about a remarkable experience you have had in your life. This experience can be positive, negative, life changing etc.
