DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. For this assignment, the students may pick a writing style. They may choose poetry, prose, or song. They should use the steps of the writing process to work through the assignment.

2. The purpose of this assignment is for the students to describe their ideal futures. In so doing, the teacher will instruct the students to use as many descriptive words and phrases as possible. The students will use imagery/sensory descriptions of similes, metaphors, and symbolism to create a picture/feeling in the mind.

3. While writing this assignment, the students should keep in mind all the previous assignments in the unit. Although the story is to focus on our ideal future, the purpose of the assignment is not to create an unrealistic future. An example of such would be, having a servant feed us succulent grapes while we recline on a bed of soft, spongy moss in the middle of scenic rainforest. surrounded by fragrant flowers of reds, pinks, purples, blues, and oranges
