Do-Now: If today were your last day alive, what would you do? (Describe your whole day. Remember, you have 24 full hours---you don't need to sleep if you're about to die).
Today: Short Story: "My Last Day Alive" : Use the ideas in your Do-Now to compose a short, fictional story about what you would do with your last day alive. This should read like a STORY, not like a description or list. Therefore, do not start off with "If today were my last day alive..." and go on to list every thing you would do. Also, it is not necessary to explain to your audience WHY you are about to die. You can start your story from the moment you wake up and end it 24 hours later. Your story will be about FOUR pages long, but your focus should be on CONTENT, not LENGTH.
Homework: Finish "My Last Day Alive" story.
