Extra Credit

As you may know, the State Fair is featuring a Hollywood theme this year. You may blog a one page report on what you learn from this exhibit for extra-credit.

How many teachers like you enough to give you extra credit for having fun? I know, I know, AI rocks!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Bye-bye Mid-terms!

Okay class,

Don't forget to post your treatments here. Rember to use active, present tense. And this is just a treatment, not a proposal, so focus on describing your story. We will use these to prep you for pitching! This will also help you later on in your writing class(es) to outline the stories you develop.

Have a great week,
