Last week some of you attended the orientation on the literary project sponsored by LAMARUCA Gesta Cultural Vitrata. This is a hybrid project which will include original works in two languages: Spanish and English. Groups 9-1 and 12-1 will be working with the short-short story (or “microcuento”) in Spanish and groups 10-1 and 11-1 will be working with poetry in the English language.
Our group will work on poetry during the second trimester in preparation for this project. Even though you may not be interested in having your work published, it will be part of the evaluative criteria for the second trimester. Here’s one of the documents Proyecto Escritores de Musa Nueva that was handed out the day of the orientation that you may use as a reference. I have the other document in paper form that you and your parents must fill out whether you participate in the project or not. I will distribute them in the next class.
I’ll be publishing a related post on poetry during the week which will count as your first official comment on this blog. (The others were for practice.) This will be Assessment #3: Blog Comment #1 with a value of 25 points. So stay tuned!
See you in class! ~~LMMolina
