1) Consider the narrative presented in the first half of Push. Can you identify a turning point (or points) in Precious Jones' life story? Now think about a turning point in your own life narrative.
2) In a Word document or in your notebook, freewrite on your turning point for 10-15 minutes.
3) Go through your freewrite and underline or highlight interesting passages. Develop those passages further with descriptive writing, details, and/or dialogue. Start building a "story" about that turning point that the reader can see and feel.
4) When you are done with a draft, proofread and cut and paste into your Blog and Publish your post.
5) When you are logged in, locate my blog -- www.drlynnsally.blogspot.com & select "Follow" so that you can follow my blog.
As with all in-class writing assignments, if you do not complete the assignment in the time allotted in class, make sure you complete it before next week's class.
