Successful Writing Ninjas

Read first.

Once your computer is loaded, 
you may get your novel open and start writing. 

When you reach 10%, you may get your stickers from me to post next to your name!
Woo!
(BUT - It must be validated on your NaNoWriMo account first.)



Some things you might have missed yesterday:

• I'm grading your English Journals this week. Don't panic. If you've been preparing for NaNoWriMo with the class, and doing your classwork, you'll be okay.
• November 19th - You have TWO book reviews due in Goodreads. Will you get time in class? Probably. But it will mean that you'll have less time to work on your novel in class.

Write Like a Ninja

This picture was taken in our classroom. Can you figure out where?

Today we're going to write 
like ninjas:

Fast. Silent. Deadly.

Okay maybe not deadly. 

A few things we need to address today:

1. Yesterday was your 10% marker. Go to NaNoWriMo and update your word count now.
2. Now fill out this form!
3. Remember when we talked about sensory details? Here is a great list of words you might be able to use to create descriptions.
4. I'm grading your English Journals this week. We won't be using them much while you write for NaNoWriMo.
5. I know you have a lot of writing to be doing at home, but don't forget reading! By now you should be done with one book and reading your second. You have TWO book reviews due soon!
