Day Eighteen / 10.01.10

Today we started with a Question of the Day: How do other's ideas influence our own? This lead into a discussion on leaders and followers, and whether we come up with our own ideas, or if we simply regurgitate other's ideas.

After that, we read silently, then took a quiz on "Two Kinds." Finally, we discussed Show don't Tell and how to avoid Cliche. Your Rough Draft is due on Monday. 3 pages, typed, MLA format, size 12 font, show don't tell, avoid cliches, create tension, include a moral, and make a great story.
