12 Sentence Story Assignment

Though I am not with you today, you are in my thoughts (okay–who are we kidding? I’m actually living it up on my day away from school!). I leave you, knowing that you value your education and accept the challenge to work on a Friday afternoon–even when you’d rather romp through the still green grass, enjoying the crisp cool air of Fall, journeying miles away from school and books and sentence structure.

I decided to wait until I return to tackle the mega-brainpower assignment. Instead, I’m giving you an assignment that is a bit more creative (Pink would be proud!).

If you throw yourself whole-heartedly into this assignment, you should come away with a greater understanding in these concepts:

  1. The terminology of particular syntactical devices.
  2. The ability to craft–artfully, using a myriad of devices–your own mature sentences.

So, tackle this:

  • Write a 12-sentence story. The instructions are on the hand-out.
  • Post the story to your blog and then comment to this post leaving a link to your blog post (saves me time grading them!).

Enjoy. Let your creative juices flow. See you next week.
