The first extended essay we will be writing is called a literacy narrative, which is a kind of autobiography of how you feel about writing, its processes, its challenges, and its trials. (Don't worry --- much more information about this will follow!)
To begin, read Joan Didion's "Why I Write" at:
http://edweb.tusd.k12.az.us/ktully/docs/Senior%20Journal/Why%20I%20write,%20Joan%20Didion.doc
Next, use the [Comment] feature to attach to incredibly engaging paragraphs about why you write to this blog. Didion claims that she write to impose herself on other people. What does this mean? Why do you write?
Remember your audience (two of my WSC 001 classes!) is reading. These comments are a homework grade worth 25 points.
