Bring a printed copy of the essay to class on Tuesday for peer editing.
We will start our short stories soon so think of a scenario you might want to explore. The search for identity:
- a character from one country adopted into another
- a character who moves from one town or city to another and doesn't fit in
- a character who doesn't feel connected at school or at home
- a solider ends up on the wrong side of a religious war to his brother ie Catholic/Protestant in Ireland or Christian / Muslim in Bosnia or the Civil War in the U.S.
- a character joins a gang but wants to break free
- a student wants to study art but her parents say she must take a business degree
