Welcome to Mr. Gowan's Creative Writing Web Site

another time around the block; we will explore, discover, and make choices together;

the course will continue to grow and evolve

Check ParentConnect frequently for grades.

 

You are encouraged to take class notes in "Journal", and save those notes in "One Note."  You have been instructed in how to do this, along with how to use the keyboard and/or a stylus, as well as how to create and name a "New Folder ."

The course will consist of a series of "experiences" or prompts.

Each experience is designed to create a "response."

"Prompts" will usually be on Mondays.  "Responses" will usually be due the following Monday.

Timeliness of responses is critical.  A late submission will lower the value of the Final Assessment.

There is a second part to the response: revision.

Revisions will usually be due that Thursday.  Revision completes the experience.

Get several large folders: for "hand-outs"; for "responses"; for my "packet"; for your "packet"; extras.  These will all form your portfolio.  Your portfolio will be a very important part of the Final Assesment (Final Exam.)
