Writing as a Gift (or another option)

Please write a piece with the intention of giving it to someone in your life as a gift.  This might be a letter, a poem, a story, something else...

If you are comfortable posting the actual piece to your blog, please do so by the end of class on Tuesday.  If you don't want to share the actual piece, just show it to me and do a quick post summarizing what you did.

You don't have to actually give the writing to the person you wrote it for, but I'm sure it would be appreciated (and a cheap gift!).  

On Monday, we will incorporate some of this writing into an actual gift...I also have holiday cards you can write notes in for people in your life.  And I'll have gift wrap for your dishes, too, if you need it..

OR in place of this assignment...

Bring in at least 2 things to contribute to Gathering Friends for the Homeless:

flannel shirt (men or women)
thermal shirt (men)
long-sleeved shirts (women)
warm socks (men or women--new)
$5 McDonald's card
tent
sleeping bag
large backpack

Also:  Remember your journal is due with 10 new full pages on Monday.
