JOURNAL TOPIC:
Think back on your last writer's conference.  Do you remember what you wanted to improve in your writing?  Think about it now: are you focused on the introduction, your thesis statement, your organization, your mechanics (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar), or something else?  Today, as you write this, are you excited about showing more skill in an area that once frustrated you?

AGENDA:
1. Mindfulness
2. Journal: discussion
3. Weekend essay
4. Independent work / optional writers' conferences

POST:
1. Please remember to post your essay by noon on Sunday.
2. Please remember to continue your masterpiece research, and post anything you find that makes you think :)
3. As we begin the final month of building this semester, please review your blog.  Feel free to tweak the design, share posts to gain followers, make up any work you've missed, and add posts that reflect your knowledge/interests/passions/sense of humor and that you think will be of interest to your readers.
