Day 2: Why I Write and crafting your own answer

1. Discussion of reading: What is writing to the author? How does the author interact with writing? How would you describe the style of each writer? (in groups and then share out)

2. Clarity: What is it? Purpose? How does a writer achieve it? WSJ article.

3. Finding your own voice: What is voice? What components make it up? When you think of your own writing, what three things do you think stand out about your work? What makes your writing your own? How would a teacher know you from a peer? (solo and then share out)

4. Start writing: Why I write. Three pages max. Think about Orwell and Didion and Welty. Think about discussion.
