In this lesson, we worked on Chase's latest writing, discussing and editing to take it from very good to excellent. We discussed use of homonyms in word play, and practiced writing with this. Repetition (not purposeful) was replaced with synonymous terms and rewording that enriched the text. Alliterations used naturally in Chase's writing were pointed out, and she will observe the use of this rhetorical device in her normal activities in the next days (gathering 12). Chase scanned, read, and listened to an interactive iBook on creative writing featuring six well-known American writers. Ideas were gleaned from this brief perusal, such as writing fictionally by way of true life (as in Amy Tan's presentation). We verbally voiced examples. Next lesson Chase will do a short writing using this strategy.
