You will be writing a short story about an important event that has happened in your life.
This can be something funny, sad, athletic, or motivating.
Because this is a narrative it must have the elements of a story: initiating event, rising
action, conflict, climax, and falling action.
The length is 1.5 pages minimum and 2.5 pages maximum.
I am looking for the elements of a story, grammar, and readability (is it interesting).
These are due: April 15.
You only have one computer lab time scheduled.
