We spent the first part of class working through some homophone pairs/threes. Try to be aware of these in your writing... they are easy to confuse!
We then spent the remainder of class writing our narratives, using the prompt "Some of our greatest struggles can be with ourselves." Students were given 35 minutes to begin their narrative, and really challenged themselves to just push through the opening, to get going on the writing of the story. Our intent is to practice this "under pressure" writing, so that come exam time in June, people feel fairly comfortable writing with a time constraint.
