Not As It Seems

9/3/2015

 
Picture
Writing 7-word stories are fun, brain-squeezing writing exercises. But not only that, they are a profound, creative way to think. They are a challenging strategy for self-expression and a brilliant way to write your story, process your emotions and think about your life.

Instructions: 
Analyze the image above, then write a 7-word story about what you see, infer and/or think about why the door is so much smaller than the chair, or why the chair seems so much larger than the room or what's behind that door. You CANNOT go beyond the 7 words. Your story will not be graded.


Before you respond, make sure you include your first AND last name AND class period.

You must also reply to a classmate's post IN 7 WORDS OR LESS. You cannot post identical comments on different classmates' posts. Posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will not earn you a passing grade. Make sure your posts address the reply that you are responding to.

Be sure to--
  • Be clear about your position
  • Provide specific support for your argument
  • Use rhetorical devices and other grammar elements
  • Write EPIC Content-Engaging, Powerful, Informative, Creative

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school or your parents with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.
