Journal Prompts, Week 11
Hey Guys,
I'll spare you another revision reminder, but seriously...
OK, that's all I've got. Here are your journal entries for this week. Because we're moving into your last inquiry project, we're going to be starting to post on broader topics, as well as doing some stuff that pertains directly to our op-ed. Hope you're all having a good week, hang in there!
Best,
Elliot

Fill in the blanks (with more than just a word, obviously): "Writing is like ______, revision is like _____"
Wednesday, April 16th
Here's a poem by Philip Booth:
be tipped back in the cup of my hand.
Gently, and I will hold you. Spread
your arms wide, lie out on the stream
and look high at the gulls. A dead-
man's-float is face down. You will dive
and swim soon enough where this tidewater
ebbs to the sea. Daughter, believe
me, when you tire on the long thrash
to your island, lie up, and survive.
As you float now, where I held you
and let go, remember when fear
cramps your heart what I told you:
lie gently and wide to the light-year
stars, lie back, and the sea will hold you.
Describe your own experience of learning something new.

This is a yearbook picture of a guy. What is he up to now? Make up a story about him.

First Lesson
Lie back, daughter, let your headbe tipped back in the cup of my hand.
Gently, and I will hold you. Spread
your arms wide, lie out on the stream
and look high at the gulls. A dead-
man's-float is face down. You will dive
and swim soon enough where this tidewater
ebbs to the sea. Daughter, believe

Journal Entries, Week 10
Hey Guys,
Only two entries this week because I got them posted late. Also, take this as a reminder that we only have 4 (It's CRAZY: 4) weeks left to revise. If you haven't completed at least one of your two significant revisions, you are probably behind. Don't let revision fall by the wayside--start today to make your life easier.
Journal Wednesday 4/9
Find an article, discussion board comment, or opinion on the internet that you completely disagree with. Post a link to it, and also a brief argument of why it's wrong.
Journal Friday 4/11
Find an article, discussion board comment, or opinion on the internet that you think is obviously correct. Post a link to it, and then play devil's advocate and argue from the opposite point of view.
That's it; have a great week!
