Today is last call to email me to discuss your capstone if that's what you choose. After today, the capstone option is not available. (I have only had one student email me about it, and we've worked out a plan. If that student was not you, then you are in my non-capstone group.)
What:
- Create a doc in your Creative Writing folder called First Initial Last Name Loss
- (example B Desai Loss).
- Write a personal essay or a short story that has these two components:
- What do you mourn the loss of in this shutdown?
- What good things do you look forward to?
You may write this in first person (personal essay) or, if it makes sense to you,
write it in third person with a fictional character (which can make it easier to
process and give you more control than first person).
write it in third person with a fictional character (which can make it easier to
process and give you more control than first person).
For fun, if you want to, you can include images-photos, drawings, doodles.
(Please keep them appropriate for your teacher to see).
