Presentational Writing Assessment:
You are going to create a short story about someone important to you (or yourself)
using the book “Frida” as a model. As in the book, your story will be written in the
present tense, using the third person (él/ella) and it will include visuals. Your book
must have at least 15 sentences and 6 pictures.
REMEMBER, pictures can include one sentence or a short paragraph!
Ideas about what to include (think of things that were mentioned in the book):
-
Place of residence, origin, nationality.
-
House, family, hobbies.
-
Mention interests, talents, aspirations, extracurricular activities, etc.
-
Relationships (with family, friends, boy/girlfriends, etc.)
-
Important event/s (birthdays, graduations, championships, etc.)
(These are just ideas – As long as you talk about you/someone else, you provide the
expected amount of sentences and use the present tense accurately, the information you
provide is up to you. You have the freedom to write the story whichever way you want)
