give the gift of writing

In the lab on Wednesday, 18 December, please draft and print your Writing as a Gift piece.  As we discussed, this might be a letter, a list, a long poem, a story written with a certain audience in mind...It might be serious and sentimental.  It might be light-hearted or silly.  

We will put these together as if you were going to give it to someone in your life, but whether you do it or not is up to you. Shoot for at least 250 words and print your piece after polishing and proofreading it.  You are welcome to post your piece to your blog, but it is not required.

In class on Thursday, we will attempt the project I showed you where you write on dishes with a Sharpie then bake them so the ink is permanent.   I will do my best to track down the pieces you requested at the dollar store.

We're also ordering bagels for class on Thursday!  Be sure you've written your order on the envelope I passed around the room and contribute a couple of dollars if you can.
