WRITING FOLDER     
   
   
     For this folder you will be able to choose a topic and write
   about it in any format that you wish 
                         OR
   you can choose a format and then use any topic that you wish.
   
   Each piece of writing must be accompanied by all of your preparatory
   notes and your rough work.
   
   TOPIC
   
   Write anything that seems suitable on the topic FOOD.  A quick survey
   of the subject reveals that you could do a variety of things such as a
   review of food, traditional foods ruined by health addicts, weird
   foods, food that isn't really food, or food that you can cook on a camping
   trip.

   OR..........
   
   do a TYPE OF WRITING
   
   You may attempt any of the following--hand-in one.
   
   1- A stream of consciousness.  Remember that the stream must have a
   coherent plot and development. Try for a surprise ending.
   
   2- A legend, myth or fairy tale.
   
   A legend or myth attempts to explain the origins of something and
   always involves man vs. nature such as a man who opposes the
   perfection of nature and starts the first biker gang.
   
   A fairy tale usually involves the supernatural or animals that possess
   human qualities, cruelty and often blood and gore, and it ALWAYS
   CONTAINS A STRONG MORAL MESSAGE.  (Hansel and Gretal also involves
   cannibalism and therefore is part of the topic food.)
   A fairy tale is designed to be told to children but can be adapted to
   a modern setting.  Try your fairy tale out on a child before handing
   it in.
