Bloodsucking Fiends Writing Assignment

Continue reading Bloodsucking fiends and finish by Friday this week.   We'll be moving on to Rita dove and some poetry.


Finish short writing assignments for me and for Ms. Hoffmann.

And here's your next assignment (actually we've been working towards this):

NEW ASSIGNMENT a/la Bloodsucking Fiends (it's that time of year!)
Write a short story that involves an encounter with an "imaginary being" --a little touch of magical realism, here.  Your short fiction piece can be funny, sarcastic, spooky, or "deadly serious."  What would it be like to talk to or perform an action  with a ghost, a werewolf, an angel, a zombie, or yes, a vampire?  Or any mythical or fairy tale character--fairy, leprechaun, Minotaur, satyr, ogre, troll, etc.?


Other things:  Writing contests--Check out Bennington's writing contest and The Blue Pencil online.
