Experiment 3 is due Tuesday before class. Remember that this assignment should be Creative Non-Fiction OR Fiction inspired by something true.  It will be 2-4 pages long and, as you remember, you get credit just for turning it in! When you’re finished you can post it in Perusall. 

Here are the in-class writing assignments we did throughout this unit. You can use any of these as a starting point for this assignment:

1. A story about a time you wrote an essay
2. A story about a meal you loved (or hated! Food that influenced you)
3. The KWL+ essay: you researched something you care about and used it as a starting point for a creative work
4. The story of how your parents met.
5. The moment in history that inspired or affected you the most
6. An essay or story motivated by a weird fact— if it helps you, look at Joyas Voladoras for inspiration.

If you have questions, please email me at chall@citytech.cuny.edu.  I don’t always see those Perusall messages!

I will give you at least 30 minutes of free- writing time in class to work on your 3rd experiment (due on April 2). Remember that this assignment should be Creative Non-Fiction OR Fiction inspired by something true.  It will be 2-4 pages long and, as you remember, you get credit just for turning it in! Come to class on Thursday with some idea of what you’ll be writing about!
