9A Writing Assignment

Hello 9A, here are some more details about your writing assignment:

It must be 2-4 pages long with 1.5 spacing and 12 point Times New Roman Font.

It needs to be carefully edited with correct grammar, spelling, etc.

It must be YOUR story, not a story taken from a book, movie, or other source.

It must contain either the theme of humility or the theme of pride.

You can be as creative as you like in your story, as long as it contains one of these themes. If you struggle with creativity, then write a sequel to Lost on Dress Parade where Towers Chambers and Miss Marian meet a second time. I want you to have a lot of freedom in this assignment, so your stories can end in any way that you like. The only thing I will really be caring about is whether you can clearly communicate the theme of humility or pride and whether you are saying something SPECIFIC about humility or pride, i.e. like Lost on Dress Parade, which asserts that if you are proud, you will miss out on many great opportunities in life.

If you have more questions about the assignment, feel free to ask me on Monday.

A TIP: Write down the vocabulary words that you do not understand so that I can explain them to you in class. I do not normally give tests over vocabulary, but it is something that you should consistently be studying on your own.
