Week of Jan. 10-14

Theme verse: "And he who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.' Also he said, 'Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.'" (Revelation 21:9). As we study the craft of short story writing this week and begin creating stories ourselves, I would like to encourage you to consider how you can use the art of storytelling to present old truths in new ways--or perhaps even to rediscover some old truths as you see things with fresh eyes.

Homework for the week:


Monday: Write 1 page of brainstorming, prewriting, or drafting, in whatever form you prefer (as long as it fills one page) for a realistic fiction story.
Tuesday: short story proposal
Wednesday: 4-6 short story (realistic fiction) due Thursday
Thursday: Write 1 page of brainstorming, prewriting, or drafting, in whatever form you prefer (as long as it fills one page) for a science fiction or fantasy story.
Friday: 3-5 page story (science fiction or fantasy) due Tuesday.
