Monday, December 12 Blizzard Bag Lesson #1: Microfiction

In the event of a snow day on Monday, December 12, please complete this lesson at home.  It should take you about 45--50 minutes to complete.

Tansy Undercrypt is a prominent writer of the new genre sometimes known as microfiction.  Your assignment today will be to read and study several pieces of microfiction, create a definition of what microfiction is, and to write a piece of your own to submit for a grade.

Don't be surprised if you find microfiction, and especially Tansy Undercrypt's microfiction, to be completely addicting.  (I do.)

1. Make your way to Tansy Undercrypt's web page.
2. Select any six pieces of her work.  (Don't worry--that's less than it sounds like!)
3. Write a VERY brief summary of each piece that you read. (One sentence should do it.)
4. Write an original definition of microfiction.  (Don't Google it--I will be checking!  Use your own fine mind on this one.)
5. Write one piece of microfiction of your very own, and revise it to hand in to me.

You may want to use Google Docs to write your definition and microfiction.  You can then "hand it in" simply by sharing it with me at cbishop@grsd.org.

Your work will be due no later than Friday of this coming week.
