Today we started with a quote from Saul Bellow, "You are an exceptional amalgam of vehement forces." Then we discussed our Personal Moral Narrative (mistakes have been fixed). Then we touched on Introductory Paragraphs, and what is due Monday (a 1 page idea of where your story is headed). Next, we wrote about sunflower seeds. Here's some work from your classmates:
Salty, sweet babies of the golden flower,
Thrust into peril of death
hard, enduring shells, though protecting, crush easily
vulnerable insides exposed.
Historic-looking seeds each individual
will never know the happiness of following the sun.
Luminous head of bright flower, decapitates
with the setting sun.
Lack of light, lack of hope
Coming back at Dawn, smiling down on earth
when the sun lowers again,
we know it will rise tomorrow.
One little seed on the earth,
can mature into something so beautiful.
The sun helps it grow.
The water soaks up its true personality.
