WHAT WE ARE BUILDING TOWARDS
WRITING OPTION #1

1. SELECT A TEXT
2. SUMMARIZE IT WITH OBJECTIVE SUMMARY
3. UNPACK ONE FIGURATIVE LANGUGE USE
4. CREATE YOUR RESPONSE TO A TEXT
   • What does the text have to do with you, personally, and with your life (past, present or future)?  It is not acceptable to write that the text has NOTHING to do with you, since just about everything humans can write has to do in some way with every other human.
   • How much does the text agree or clash with your view of the world, and what you consider right and wrong? 
   • What did you learn, and how much were your views and opinions challenged or changed by this text, if at all?  
   • How well does the text address things that you, personally, care about and consider important to the world? 
   • What can you praise about the text? What problems did you have with it?
   • To sum up, what is your overall reaction to the text? 

WRITING OPTION #2

1. Choose a topic you care about, and make an argument that will persuade readers to care about that topic.
   

• Start by choosing something you are genuinely interested in. You might start by asking yourself the three questions at the top of this post and brainstorming a few answers.
  
• What makes you mad/excited/sad/hopeful?
  
• What would you like to see change?
  
• What do you wish more people understood?
