Directions for Fiction Story 1
Consider the sample short stories that we have read in class: “Fish Summer”, “The Nagua Hunters”, “Theft”, and “It Rained for Stevie”. These stories were all examples of quality writing because they grabbed and held the reader’s attention through the use of literary techniques such as description and figurative language. Each story was built around a solid theme or moral.

You will now write your own story, a piece of fiction. You might take an experience from something that actually happened to you or someone else and change parts to turn it from fact into fiction. The length of your story is to be between four to eight pages. You are required to have a strong theme or moral in your story. You are also required to use description and figurative language. Remember to appeal to the five senses as you write your piece.

Write your story in Google.docs, giving cooperation privileges to one or two peers and to me, your teacher. Save your document in Google.docs as Fiction Story 1, followed with your name. Remember to double -space your work. Place proper page headings at the top of the page:
