CREATIVE NONFICTION WRITING ASSIGNMENT (Elizabeth Gilbert-inspired):
Please portray a memorable and impactful conversation you have had with someone in your family - parents, siblings, or extended relatives. Like the excerpt from "Eat, Pray, Love," this conversation should be set up with an introduction that establishes its context and concluded with related action that provides a satisfying conclusion. In other words, don't just provide a transcript of the words you said; make it a story. Even nonfiction has a narrative flow.
This assignment will be graded on the following criteria
Descriptiveness (show versus tell) 5 points
Structure (beginning, middle, and end) 5 points
Style (quality of writing, word choice, sentence variety, expressiveness) 5 points
