Writing Assignment for Oct. 23

Aim to write two double-spaced pages, using one of the following prompts.  As always please adapt the assignment to fit your needs (adjusting the length, combining prompts. etc.)  You can email the pieces to me ahead of time if desired and I will make copies.

Prompts

Family Portraits.  Building on the describers in the family tree class assignment, write a story about one family member. The story might illustrate the qualities of a family member who was a key influencer in your life.

Transition.  Fall is the season of change.  Write about a significant transition in your life.

Companion vignette.  Write a story that complements an earlier vignette you have written.  Examples: a vignette with a similar theme, a vignette described through the eyes of second person, or a vignette from the same period of time or place.  The possibilities are endless.  This could be a building block for your fall project.
