Writing Project

Students in English IA are starting my favorite part of the course. Over the next week or so, they will be writing their own short stories, and I will be doing one as well.  Similar in style to "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut, these stories will focus on a social issue of the student's choosing. They'll imagine the worst-case scenario, exaggerate it to the point of ridiculous, and tell the story of characters living in that world.
