Brit Lit:

We continued our 10 day short story unit.  Today, we looked at a new form of writing that emerged in the early 1920's:  stream of consciousness.  Here, the writer writes freely from within the random thoughts of the character telling the story.  This can be a difficult way to interpret a story, but it can also be very interesting way to connect to a character.
We did a short one page stream of conscious writing assignment.  Basically, I had you write your random thought in your head in a one page narrative piece of writing.

We then read  The Lady in the Looking Glass by Virginia Woolf.  We examined the stream of conscious form of writing and debated whether it helps you to connect to the character.

HW:  Please describe in detail 10 objects in your room.  Each object should be desribed in 3-5 sentences using as much detail as possible.  This list will be the basis of a character development activity that we will be working on at the start of next week.
