Reading Assignment
(Twenty-five minutes)
Ø Remember when you told a story in just six words? Today, you’re going to read some short
stories that are exactly fifty words long.
You’re going to see how every word has to count.
1. Go to our google drive
class folder, and read the file called "Fishback--50 Word Stories I
Like"--Begin with the end in mind!
This is what your assignment will look like when you’re finished.
3. Browse these stories,
and enjoy!
4. Find three that really
speak to you, that spark something in you, that you like.
5. Copy and paste them
into a google doc, including author and
title.
6. Type one sentence
after each one explaining why you like the story. FOLLOW FISHBACK'S MODEL
EXACTLY! THANK YOU!
7. Save it in the class
google docs folder as “your last name--Fifty Word Stories I Like”.
