Independent Writing Projects: Collecting & Seed Idea

The first thing to decide when working on your independent project is what genre you want to write. Remember, you should choose a genre that you have written before so that you have strategies you have learned to help you with the writing.

Remember to think about:

• What strategies you learned to collect entries
• What strategies you learned to choose a seed idea
• How to write with a clear purpose, message, or lesson

  
Don't forget your seed idea proposal sheet is due Friday, October 26:
