Handed in No Excuses/Demons project

 QW# 1: Who do you think will win and why.
Finished Spellbound.
QW# 2. Write reaction. Go back to your notebooks. See if your guess was correct. Now, take the voice of the person you thought would win and write as them. Write how you felt about winning or losing. Consider what you might say to your parents. Was the experience a good one or a rough one? Would you do it again? What have you learned from it? All of these questions are in the voice of the person you thought would win.

About Me

Sebastopol, CA
After many years as a newspaper reporter and writer, a job that I was lucky enough to love, I got my English teaching credential, hoping to pass on to kids how to find their unique voice and clearly communicate what they think and feel. Public school educated in Philadelphia, college in New York City (Barnard College), transferred to and graduated from UC Berkeley in English and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. Yay, my son, my student in 8th grade, is now a Cal alumni, too, a 2017 graduate with a degree in computer science, now working at Google (You Tube) as a product manager. William Faulkner is one of my favorite writers, as well as Anne Lamott, Langston Hughes and many of the nighttime, satirical comedy shows. On my top bookshelf sit Nobel Prize winning writers Toni Morrison and Orhan Pamuk, along with friends who have won Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, who started writing in junior high or in writing groups in Sonoma County. Go public education in California!
