Short Story Assignment
100 points
We have been studying how different writers approach the
short story, and what we might learn from these writers for the last several
weeks.
Now, your work is to write a short story of your own. The
story needs to be original, and it needs to be seven to fifteen pages in
length. Several of you have asked if you might write a chapter of a longer work
for this assignment, and that is perfectly acceptable. If you choose to do
this, please remember to contextualize the short story for me, particularly if
what you hand in is not the beginning of the story.
The timeline for our work is outlined below:
1.
Complete short story study notebook is due on
11/20 (This grade is separate from the short story)
