Thanks to anyone who comes to check us out after so much dead time! Even though the blog hasn't been updated lately, we are still meeting ever Tuesday at 6pm after English Club.
Last week, I gave everyone the following prompt: write a poem or a short piece of prose based on one of your recent Facebook statuses or Twitter updates. If you tend to post more song lyrics than slices-of-life, please skip those. If you don't have an account on either site (!!!), try using that of a celebrity for inspiration. Bring this piece with you (and the post that you used, if you like) on Tuesday, February 1st. Yes, that is tomorrow. No need to make copies; we will read them aloud and have some informal critique.
What's coming up:
- On February 15th, English Club will be having a Valentine's Day party starting at 5 pm. We will be doing a Valentine exchange, in the best elementary school tradition, and if you would like to participate, you should come to Club on either the 1st or the 8th so you can make your construction paper mailbox. We will also being drawing up a list of everyone exchanging Valentines, so you know who to make them out to. Not to be outdone, I figure Writers' Bloc will also plan a little celebration, and I'll try to put that prompt up by next week.
- Honors alum Carly Sachs will be doing a reading on March 8th in conjunction with the Wick Poetry Center. We are looking at scheduling a short workshop on March 7th for a small group of interested students. It will start at 5 pm, as things stand, and I will be bringing this up at the meeting tomorrow in order to begin making more concrete plans.
- We are thinking of setting the date for the writing conference on April 9th.
- Thunderduck approachth.
As you can see, there is lots to do in the very near future! Get involved and get writing!
