Narrative Writing Prompts

The first writing prompt for this unit is to tell the story of your experience with a horrible teacher or boss. After you have zeroed in on one person/event, write a scene that best exemplifies the situation and proves the point you are trying to make about him/her, as well as yourself.

The second writing prompt for this unit is to tell a story from your life that exemplifies truth. This is a broad and general prompt, but I want to see in which direction you take this idea. Are you going to simply tell a story that actually happened, or are you going to tell a story that you don't remember well but has been a poignant moment in your life, told to you by the people who raised you?

For Thursday, February 14th, I would like you to compose a very rough draft of the second prompt and post it to the discussion forum titled, "Truth" Drafts, before class.
