Exercise 5

Go here and await further instructions.

Exercise 4

Go to the website for The Weekly World News, and look around until you land on a headline or article that you’d like to use as a basis for a three-page story. Your story must not be comic; you must treat the fantastic circumstance with seriousness. Your goal is not simply to make the reader  believe your story; your goal is to make the reader care about what happens and who it happens to. (You can also go here to see more of the magazine’s headlines.)

This assignment is due Tuesday, February 11 at midnight. Please save your exercise as a Word document and place it in the Exercise 4 folder on Google Drive. Please format using Times or Times Roman, double-spaced, with page numbers, and name the file FirstLast.Ex4.docx.

Exercise 2

Write a three-page story that begins with this sentence: The house is sinking.

In your story, the house must be sinking for a reason that is never explained by the narrator, perhaps not even understood by the narrator, but that reason must have something to do with who the narrator is. The house must sink at least six feet by the story’s end.
