4. Monday Meeting

5. What is Monday Meeting?
Every Monday, and I mean EVERY MONDAY, you will come into class and write about your weekend.
We will do this in order to get to know each other, write about what is going on in our lives, and learn that we can write to document things happening in our lives.
You will write in your Journal.
You should always write “Monday Meeting” and the date at the top of the page.

6. You will be given 7 minutes to write.
The amount of time will not change
You must write the whole time

7. Writing Choices
You will always have these 4 writing prompts to guide your 7 minutes of writing about your weekend. You can choose one prompt, you could choose two, or you could do all of them. If you finish one prompt early, move onto the next one. You could do a different one each week or the same one every time. The options are endless.
What was the best thing that happened over the weekend?
What was the worst thing that happened over the weekend?
If you could redo this weekend, what would you do differently?
Did you make positive or negative decisions over the weekend? What were the consequences of those decisions?

8. At the end of the 7 minutes, I will randomly call on some of you to share. If you feel as if your writing is too personal, and you do not want everyone to know what you are writing about, let me know while you are writing, so I will not call on you. We do not always want everyone to know what we are writing about.

Every Friday, you will engage in an activity called Free Write Friday. You will be given a picture and a prompt. You will have a set amount of time to write. You MUST write the entire time. When there are 10 seconds left, I will countdown, and when the time goes off, we will all stop writing and slam our notebooks shut. The sound it makes is really cool.

80. Another thing...
Today will be our first Free Write Friday, and you will be 6 minutes to write.
The next week, you will get 7 minutes and a different prompt.
The next week, you will get 8 minutes and a different prompt.
The amount of time you get will continue to go up, and the prompts will become more extensive!
