READ THESE DIRECTIONS VERY CAREFULLY!
This assignment is optional. You do not have to do it. Due date: On or before Monday, May 11 (11:59 PM) When submitting via email:
Students in English classes 9 will choose one of the two prompts, not both. Grades of three, four, or five points will be awarded based on the TNREADY rubrics for narrative and argumentative writing. These points will apply only to Quarter 3. Requirements:
Tell the story – including family and friends and as much or as little as you want – of your experience during the pandemic.Your story may include journal entries, poems, songs, or other creative forms.If you are more comfortable writing about others or writing fiction, you may write in 3rd person (create characters who experience the pandemic in Memphis). The goal is to let the reader understand what you have experienced and what you are experiencing.
Create an argument that supports/defends, opposes/criticizes, or qualifies the actions taken or policies enacted by national, state, and/or local governments to address the COVID-19 issue. You may choose to focus on one government level or just one strategy regarding health, safety, economics, or other areas. This should not be a criticism of any particular person or department. Show your understanding of the policy/action, an analysis of its effectiveness, and suggestions for keeping, altering, or eliminating the policy/action. Comments are closed.
