Sudden Fiction Homework

Please read the following stories in Sudden Fiction:

"Sunday in the Park" by Bel Kaufman

From this group, choose one short story to base a 200 word to 400 (about a page or two) word short, short story on. You can select a similar theme, write about a similar character, use a similar style or setting, or include an event that happened in the story as an opening for your own story: ex. start a story with a child throwing sand on your main character (from: Sunday in the Park)

Type or write out your story by hand. Be prepared to share this story with the class on Tuesday, September 22.
