For
this assignment, you are going to create your own “what my friends think”
poster to illustrate different perspectives of one situation from your
life. You can choose a hobby that you
are interested in, a sport that you play, a club that you are in, a subject you
like…whatever!
You
should include at least four squares on your paper:
•What my friends think
•What my parents think
•What I think
•What I really do
Part 2:
•Now, choose either “what my friends think” or “what my
parents think.”
•Write from the perspective of one of those two groups of
people, using their voice.
•The writing should be them explaining how he or she
feels about what you do or what he or she thinks you do.
The following is the assignment received today (also due next class):
•Write a poem or tiny short story that demonstrates your
perspective on sports. You may play
sports and LOVE it, play sports and hate it, only watch sports and not play
them, or never want to have anything to do with them. Your poem or story should show your
perspective and use your VOICE.
