***The overarching objective of this assignment is creative writing and written expression within fictional context of the short story. I want students to enjoy it, be free and unrestricted in their writing, express their imaginative ideas and have an awesome time doing it. It is writing with very little parameters set forth, as I want them to explore their fantastic minds and extend their thinking to create a world and story that is their own***
