mIsSiNg WoRk Course Syllabus _____ _____ Creative Writing Schedule Remind 101 Class code: _____ Course Syllabus 2016-2017 We write to make suffering endurable, evil intelligible, justice desirable, and love possible. —Roger Rosenblatt Miss Kaysey Beury Room: #127 Classroom Phone: Ext: 8127 E-Mail: kbeury@basd.net FOLLOW THE R U L E S Welcome to creative writing! In this course we place a heavy emphasis on both writing and writing workshops in which you share your work and have it edited by someone else. We break down our content by quarter. We do a variety of types of writing as well as produce BHS’s literary magazine, Ananda. Your #1 Rule: Be Respectful All rules listed in the student handbook will be enforced within the classroom. Materials Needed Pens/Pencils Notebook/paper Folder or ½-1 inch binder Google account What Do We Study? A variety! Story elements, Writing Process, Genres, Poetry, Ananda,& Portfolios Schedule Quarter 1: Leads, Characterization, Setting/Mood, Horror Genre, & Shape and Free Verse Poetry Quarter 2: Point of View, Conflict and Climax, Motif, Fairytale Genre, Narrative and Ode Poetry Quarter 3: Dialogue, Rising Action, Plot, Research, Epic Genre, Limerick and Prose Poetry Quarter 4: Ananda, Resolution, Science Fiction Genre, Sonnets and Sestina Poetry *Midterm & Finals are Portfolios of all work done in class, so keep it all in a safe, organized place!* My Schedule 1: English 9 Academic 2: Planning 3: English 9 Academic 4/5: Creative Writing 6: Lunch 7/8: English 9 Academic 9: English 9 Accelerated 10: English 9 Accelerated 11: English 9 Academic *7:45-8:00 and 3:15-3:45 by request “No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.” -robert Frost random Writing Challenges From time to time, we will do unique Writing Challenges. These will be given out at the beginning of the class and be due by the end of the period. These assignments will vary and challenge writers to go outside of their comfort zone to try something new. They’ll consist of things like story prompts, scenarios, picture prompts, style challenges, and alternate endings. If you have any ideas for these assignments, please let me know! Grading Scale 90% - 100% = A 80% - 89% = B 70% - 79% = C 60% - 69% = D 0% - 59% = F When students are absent, it is the responsibility of the student to check for work they have missed, and to turn it in. If you are absent, you have 1 day for each day that you missed to complete work. Please check the folder/calendar/notebook by the door for missed assignments. Remind 101 Class code: _____ mIsSiNg WoRk Students will fill out a “No Assignment Form” for all missing work, and will be held accountable for turning in the missing assignment. 10% will be deducted for each day an assignment is late. After 1 week, it will not be accepted.

The Dreaded Word: PLAGIARISM. Plagiarism is defined as using someone else’s work or ideas without giving them proper credit. I have a zero tolerance policy on this topic and you will not be given the opportunity to redo an assignment in which you have deliberately cheated and copied someone else’s work. As per the student handbook, you will receive a zero for the assignment and further incidents will result in up to 3 days of ISS as well as teacher assigned detentions. Your parents will also be notified. In this course we will be doing a lot of writing, reading, and modeling of different genres and works. It is important that you produce your own creative works—after all that is why you are in this class! Writer’s Workshops & Peer Review Editing is an essential part of writing and it cannot be done only by the writer himself. Therefore, everything that is written for this class will be read by a few classmates for feedback and suggestions for improvement. Writer’s workshops (or “peer review sessions”) will take place in small groups a few days before a writing assignment is due. These small groups will vary each time so that you can read a variety of styles and genres written by our classmates as well as have your own work reviewed by a variety of readers with different perspectives to share. During a workshop, you will read each other’s work and give feedback in the form of a checklist. In turn, you’ll get feedback from each member of your group. You will then use the feedback to make revisions and edits to your own work before handing it in for a grade. IT IS EXPECTED THAT STUDENTS PROVIDE POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. Writers need to feel safe to experiment and not fear criticism or harsh commentary from their peers. Additionally, each writer will complete a reflection that shows thought and consideration of the feedback. Final drafts are expected to demonstrate revisions based on feedback received during WW’s. The peer review and self-reflection are both graded activities. IF you do not have your draft ready to be shared with your classmates on the WW days, you will receive a score of a zero. Your actual writing assignment is a separate grade. If you are uncomfortable having classmates read your work and provide feedback, then perhaps this class is not for you. A writer cannot grow without hearing feedback from others.
