This week, we will be working on the fiction project. As you can see on the ass

This week, we will be working on the fiction project. As you can see on the assignment, you have three options for the project (creative, technological, and essay). For this week’s discussion post, I want you to share with your classmates your brainstorming efforts for the project and get any questions answered that you may have.
For the initial post, please tell us what you plan to use as your topic. For example, if you are taking the creative option, please tell us what your story will be about and how it relates to what we have been doing. Please also include three things that you like about the direction that your project is taking (What are you doing really well so far? What are you really happy with so far?). Lastly, include three questions that you have about the project. While these can be general questions about the assignment, you should also use this opportunity to ask your classmates for content advice. For example, if you have chosen the essay option, you might want suggestions about what other points of support you can use to bolster your topic sentence.
The next assignment is seperate
At the conclusion of each genre unit, we will complete a project that helps us reflect on what we learned and also demonstrate why that learning is significant in our study of literature. In this fiction project, you have three options and must select one of them. Please select something that you feel best suits you, and make sure that you put the time and effort into it that a unit project deserves. Here are the options:
1. Creative- Write your own short story implementing elements of great fiction that you have seen in other stories that we have read in this unit. That is, consider how you will convey and portray the protagonist, anatagonist, setting, and theme in a plot development that is both logical and captivating. There is no minimum or maximum length for this option; however, you must have a complete story that artfully employs literary technique. At the end of your short story, you should write a paragraph (it can be more) of explanation in which you relate your story to at least three stories that we read in this unit.
2. Technological- Create a PowerPoint or Prezi (go to prezi.com to investigate this option if you are not familiar) focused around a literary term- example protagonist. This presentation should reflect a college-level understanding and application of your term: work to go beyond the typical understanding of the term to create something that’s both interesting and informational for your classmates. You must have a minimum of ten good slides (or movements in a prezi), but you can have more. In those slides, you should use examples from at least three stories that we read in this unit to assist you in defining and explaining the term. If you create a Prezi, you can submit the link in a document to this assignment.
3. Essay- Complete a three to five page essay of analysis. You can examine a character, a series of characters, a theme (in one story or in as many as three stories), or a literary argument of your choosing. In your essay, you should reference between one and three stories that we read in this unit. Make sure to use MLA in-text citation for your direct quotes and paraphrases.
Specifics:
-Please type in 12 point Times New Roman font for options 1 & 3 and make sure that you save your project appropriately
