Pick any one exercise from last week or this weeks assigned chapters of Blurring the Boundaries (pages 247-250). Develop the exercise into an essay of 750 to 1,000 words. (The lower word limit is mandatory. The upper word limit is somewhat flexible.) Remember, this piece must be narrative nonfiction. Incorporate the elements of writing, such as scene, imagery, dialogue, characterization, and voice. Proofread well. Use MLA format. Remember also that we did not read Ryan Boudinot’s “An Essay and a Story about Motley Crue”. You may not use the writing exercise associated with that story. You must write a story about actual people and actual events, not a flight of fancy about what might have been.
In the same file, preface your essay with a reflection letter that answers these questions: (These do not count towards the final word count.)
What inspired you to choose the topic you wrote about?
What were your goals for this essay? Did you accomplish those goals?
What were some difficulties you encountered while writing this essay? How did you work through them?
What are the strengths and weaknesses of the essay?
How might you further improve it for the final project?
What questions do you have for your instructor at this time?
