Monday: Flash Fiction
Journal# 21: How was your weekend? In about 250 words, describe the highlights. Be prepared to share.
For a definition of flash fiction, follow this link to wikipedia.
To see examples, google "flash fiction aka sudden fiction", or see me when you return to class.
classwork/homework: create your own piece of flash fiction. Having trouble coming up with a topic? Try this idea as a prompt: a woman is walking along an urban street when her high heeled shoe gets stuck between the grates of a storm drain.

Creed #7: Values RepresentedFor each influence on your Short List:
1) Write a paragraph addressing this question: What in life does this person seem to stand for--to most value or most care about? What value(s) or principles or beliefs does the event, circumstance, question or quality stand for in your mind?
