What did you talk about in group guidance?

What questions, stresses, etc., do you have about college or work next year?  Talk it over with a partner.


Make sure you have read "Shitty First Drafts"; and, slight change of plans, you do not need to read  "A Lesson in Advanced Misplacement" for Friday, since I want to devote Friday to working on your first draft of your college essay.

Find two lines that you thought contained good or surprising insights about writing.  What advice does she give and why?

Let's take a look at Liz Dengel's essay and then I want you to write your own shitty first draft.
