Writer's Journal entry: Describe,
in detail, a place that has been important to you. Really set the scene, using
imagery from as many senses as possible. What does the place look like, sound
like, smell like, feel like? Why was it so significant? This should be at least
one very LONG paragraph. Once you're finished, draw a picture in your journal
of what your place looks like.
Read and discuss excerpt from Jeannette Walls' "true-life novel," Half-Broke Horses.
