Group Composition
Opento
Suggestion
• In order to provide a newexperience for combining reading,writing, and cooperation in theclassroom, I devised a system forgroup composition work.
The first step is to read a series ofarticles and stories, all covering thesame general topic area. Next,distribute the group composition
sheets. One exampleis
givenhere.
The technique provided someexcellent written work as well assome friendly cooperation amongclassmates. It was rewarding to seesome nonwriters actively involved inactual construction of written prose.
Group Composition: SuperstitionSelect 3 people from class to work withyou on the construction and writing of thefollowing three paragraph composition.One paper for all 4 members.
Directions: Mutually agree on onesuperstition held in common belief today.
1) Tell what your superstition isandgivetwo or three examples of its practice oruse in society.
2) Explain how you believe such asuperstition came into being. This neednot be factual- use your collectiveimaginations to construct a story. Usecolorful events, examples, incidents tosupport your theory.
3) Write a brief conclusion summarizingyour ideas.
Papers will be graded for: 1 ability o readand follow the above directions; 2)originality and thought of ideas; 3)spelling, grammar, and sentencestructure.
Be sure names of all group membersappear on the one final, revised copy thatis turned in. All group members willreceive the same one grade for thecollective composition.

interest in new books. Thirty-twotities are buried within the text of thisiove story with teenage characters.

I am Claudia, Doc Dudley'sdaughter. I have an undecided heart.
My boyfriend Peter is known asMillie's boy.
My brother Stevie and my father donot approve of Peter because of hishunger for racing. My mother is nottaking sides.
Peter has a hot rod which he drivesfifty-two miles to terror.
One day as Peter and I took a walk
down Apple's Way, I brought up thesubject of the dangers involved in hisracing. He said angrily, I am free,alone and going to race despite yourobjection and your family'sobjections. I will not be trapped. Ihave been asked to join theSeventeenth-Street Gang so that Ican participate in the Gunshot GrandPrix. Be a cool cat and stop buggingme.
I pleaded with him saying, Mydarling, my hamburger, if you pursuethis dangerous life, you will journeyall alone. I don't want you to travel inthe valley of the shadow of death. Youthink wild and you are the wild one.You have a talent for trouble. Do youexpect to be a hero? A hero ain'tnothing but a sandwich.
All right, he yelled. Don't cry forme. It's like this cat, there comes atime to choose.
We decided to part for a year and ableak black horizon faced me onthe way home. I had a year to grow.
Maybe it's not the end of the world.Often I feel my heart ache and I mustremember to say, Don't look and itwon't hurt.
