the bear trainer and his cat fairytale
write your own, modernised fractured version of the above fairytale,
keeping
only the basic essence of it the same. You can
create a new plot twist and unexpected
characters. Your fractured fairy tale must include
a modern setting. Interpret the theme
in the context of today’s world. You can also give
it a new title. No references will be
needed in this section as it must be your own work.
This is a creative task, so there is much room for
your own interpretation. However,
please observe the following restrictions:
·
Your modernised, fractured fairy tale must be based
on one of the traditional stories
from the list provided in Section 1 above and take
place today (i.e. in the last fifty
years).
·
It does not have to be suitable for children,
although you may write with a children’s
audience in mind. Please be mindful of your
identified audience as stated in
Section 1.
·
Plan your story carefully. You must show plot
development – that is, a beginning,
rising action, climax and resolution. Pace is
important.
·
While the assignment requires you to fracture’ a
traditional story, you may keep
certain common characteristics the same.
·
Note that the assignment is testing not only your
creative writing skills, but your
understanding of the genre as well.

For this graded assignment, you’ll choose one of the suggested topics and write an outline to plan and develop your information before you begin to draft your essay. If you do research or incorporate information that’s not considered common knowledge into your prewriting, you must cite it according to APA Format
Objective
For this graded assignment, you’ll do the following:
Use prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing to write formal, college-level essays
Distinguish between different patterns of development
Apply an appropriate pattern of development to a specific purpose and audience
Develop paragraphs using topic sentences, adequate detail, supporting evidence, and transitions
Apply the conventions of standard written American English to produce correct, well-written essays
Topic: Compare and
contrast online shopping and shopping at a physical location.
Prewriting Tasks
Be sure to complete the following tasks in your prewriting:
State the subject you’ve chosen in a complete sentence.
Provide one or two sentences of background information; this will go in your introduction when you write your essay.
Create a thesis statement. Remember, your thesis statement must make an argument about your topic and name the key points of contrast in the order you will discuss them.
Use the “Point-by-Point” organizer shown in the example below to demonstrate how you will logically organize your essay. Include your subject, thesis statement, supporting elements, and conclusion.
Compare and Contrast Example
Topic: Pets
Title: The Best Pet for Introverts Who Live Alone
Background Statement: Even though introverts prefer their own company to those of other humans, they may find an animal companion can provide the companionship they are looking for.
Thesis Statement: Dogs make better pets than cats for solo-living introverts because they provide emotional support, exercise, and security.
Point 1: Emotional Support
Dogs run to greet their owners with tail wags and cuddles as soon as their humans come home.
Cats may brush against their human’s legs, if a greeting is given at all.
Dogs often will stay glued to their human’s side or not be far away.
Cats are known for being aloof, and might happily spend their time atop a bookcase or in another room entirely. 
Point 2: Exercise
Dogs require regular walks to go outside, ensuring that an introvert must leave their house and see the world outside.
Cats use litterboxes, which take only a few minutes to clean and can leave a foul odor in the home.
Dogs require playtime with their human. The playtime often involves running or other physical activity.
Cats may not like to play, but if they do, it often involves sitting on the couch and using a laser pointer or waving a string with a toy attached.
Point 3: Security
Dogs bark to let their owners know of intruders or other dangers.
Cats may meow to let their human know their food or water dish is empty, but might largely ignore an intruder.
Dogs can provide warm comfort being at their human’s side when they’re uneasy or maybe watched a few too many scary movies.
Cats might well be off doing their own cat things.
Conclusion: When it comes to being a best friend, a dog is unmatched. They provide companionship and cuddles, as well as safety and physical activity.

Assignment 1: Narrative based on Non-fiction
In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, the author reveals that Henrietta did not wish to donate her cells for research and that the family was not exactly pleased with the manner in which her body was used for science. Choose one of the following people from the text and write a narrative from his or her point of view. You should include some of the facts and information from the text, but mostly this will be a fictionalized account of what happened based on your imagination. 
Character Perspectives:
Deborah Lacks (Henrietta’s daughter)
David Lacks (Henrietta’s husband)
If you need help getting started, consider the following ideas as food for thought:
1) What time period do you wish to set your story (when Henrietta was living or after her death?)
2) Perhaps you’d like to write from Deborah’s perspective, growing up without her mother and later learning about her HeLa cells.
3) Consider writing from David’s perspective as he realizes his wife is dying or when he finds out that science has taken her cells without his knowledge or approval. 
There are many more ways to approach this assignment; feel free to be creative based on the text. Since this is a narrative, your paper will be assessed on descriptive elements such as dialogue, interesting adjectives, vivid verbs, figurative language, etc. You’ll want to consider the elements of a narrative (setting, characterization, plot, style).

Strong thesis statement and strong topic sentences which identify supporting points for that thesis.
Sufficient and detailed supporting material
Strong organization and transitions/linking devices so that the supporting material makes sense as a whole
Strong research writing skills: You must learn the basics of research writing targeted by this course:
finding appropriate and credible sources of ideas and information.
integrating quotes, paraphrases and summaries from sources into one’s own argument.
citing the sources properly in MLA format:
properly constructed in-text citations in MLA format
properly constructed list of works cited in MLA format
In this revision, you are required to improve your research writing, including integration of source material and source documentation through proper in-text citations (parenthetical references in MLA format) and a correctly constructed list of works cited in MLA format. You should also make some other improvements to the writing as needed, focusing especially on errors and other weaknesses identified in the comments on your papers and in the writing report.
Your revision grade will be based on two things: 1. How well it demonstrates the skills targeted by this course (listed above), and how well it addresses weaknesses identified by the professor’s comments on the paper. You must address all of the comments, but you must address other issues not identified by the comments. In this way, you will demonstrate to the professor both the skills listed above and your ability to revise well, both with the help of comments and on your own without such help. See the instructions for the self-evaluation letter for a list of the types of corrections you might make as you revise your paper. In your self-evaluation letter, you will have to write about the changes you made to your paper as you revised, so the instructions include a list of the types of changes you might make, to give you the language to write about them later. But, you can use that list now to give you some ideas about what you might do, beside improving your research writing, to revise your essay.

Your submission should be three concise, double-spaced paragraphs, not exceeding 750 words.
Be sure to use 12-point Times New Roman.

you think the verdict was an important precedent or a dangerous one?
Write an argumentative text explaining whether you think a jury convicting
a parent for major crime carried out by his or her child is an important
precedent or a dangerous one.
Be sure to use:
Write a well-organized informational composition that uses specific evidence
from the article to support your answer.
Remember to —
• clearly state your thesis
• organize your writing
• develop your ideas in detail
• use evidence from the selection in your response
• use correct spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar
Manage your time carefully so that you can —
• review the selection • plan your response
• write your response • revise and edit your response
• Respond to the text (the link is attached below) with quotes from
professionals. (You must use the right format for citing evidence. If you
forgot, please check out the Canvas link).
• The write heading on your paper.

It should include the following: 1) an
introduction with a clear and contentious thesis statement; 2) body paragraphs
with topic sentences framing the paragraph’s guiding argument, evidence from
the text (specific examples and quotations), and close reading analysis; and 3)
a short conclusion summarizing the paper’s main points.
The paper must be properly MLA
formatted, including a Works Cited page.
Choose one of the following
prompts and write an argumentative essay of roughly 1000-1200 words.
1. In Jenny Erpenbeck’s novel Go, Went,
Gone, the development of the main character, Richard, is one of the ways the
author conveys her major ideas about the ongoing migrant crisis in Europe.
Using close reading analysis of specific examples and devices, explore how
Richard changes (and/or does not change) over the course of the novel and how,
in turn, this development relates to Erpenbeck’s themes and message.
2. As with several of the texts we’ve read
this term, Go, Went, Gone explores the theme of complicity. In this
case, Erpenbeck’s novel seems to send a clear message that to remain passive
and silent in the face of history is a diminishment of one’s own humanity.
Argue this message by providing close reading analysis of the novel’s extensive
use of symbolism. 
3. In many ways, Go, Went, Gone
explores and questions the notion of “home.” Using close reading analysis of
specific examples and literary devices, interpret and explain the novel’s
various representations of home, from an actual place to an emotional construct,
from a national idea to a legal concept.
