Writing Assignment

Tomorrow is Jeans Day!! The cost is 3.00 for students! If you wear jeans, wear a school appropriate shirt.

On to the writing piece for the 1st trimester:

You will write a creative, fictional story. Your genre must be realistic fiction; therefore, your story must be set in present day and your events should be believable. Other than that, the story is up to you. You will, however, be assigned to a writing "group", other students who will help you think of ideas, in addition to revising and editing your work. You, in return, will help your group members in the same way. You will be required to complete certain tasks by a particular deadline in order to receive points toward your project grade.

I am going to be posting one part at a time.

Brainstorm/Prewrite is due Friday, October 3, 2008.
You must write on a piece of paper five ideas for a short story and bring it to class on October 3. You may use your writing journal as inspiration, but you are not required to do so. Your ideas must be numbered and at least 4 sentences in length. On Oct 3, you will meet with your group to discuss your ideas and to brainstorm new ideas. At the end of the class period, you will have narrowed your ideas to the one you will write. You will turn in all your written ideas, circling the idea which you intend to write.

Have a wonderful evening!
