Writer’s Workshop – Microfiction!
a. Small group roundtable for Microfiction
6: Thick imagery narrative. Pass the work
from person to person in groups of four – each person should write one
suggestion for improvement of imagery right on the
Microfiction.
b. Prepare for final Microfiction Contest:
1) Choose the best of your six
Microfictions. Notify teacher of which one you are choosing. (Note that you
may wish to choose the one you think you can make into the best rather than the
one you feel is best already, especially since you are being required to
revise.)
2) Fully revise the piece and prepare the
final copy for judging Tuesday, 4/29.
3) Judging will be based on class
voting. The prize is a day off (of my
choosing) for the winners in each of the six categories.

a. If
you have more to do on your group’s recipes, menu, or ad RDs,
