Monday, May 2

Do-Now: We only have about six weeks before the end of the school year.  What types of activities would you like to do in Creative Writing class during the next six weeks?  (They can be activities we have already done or new activities we haven't done yet.)

Today: You will begin composing a series of THREE short stories.  All three stories will be focused around a central storyline which will be told from THREE different perspectives (each of the three stories will represent a different perspective).  Two stories must be told from characters within the storyline and the third story may be told from the perspective of a third character, an animal, an object or an omniscient narrator.  Each story will be at least TWO pages long (longer if you have bigger handwriting). 

EXAMPLE: You may focus on a storyline about two best friends who accuse each other of talking behind the other's back.  Your FIRST version of the story can be written from the first friend's point of view.  Then, your SECOND version of the story can be written from the second friend's point of view.  Finally, your THIRD version of the story can be written from a teacher's point of view.

***ALL THREE STORIES ARE DUE THURSDAY AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS***
