Creative Mini Project

Now that you have written an essay (When I Was Puerto Rican Book by Esmeralda Santiago – Quote and Theme Analysis) that analyzes a theme, it is time to get creative! Another important way for you to make meaning of the texts you read is by creating your own original work. Below see the direction.

Creative writing. Use your imagination to write an outline for a sequel, or write an actual sequel (3-page max!) for “When I Was Puerto Rican Book by Esmeralda Santiago” reading text. For this writing you would imagine what would happen next in the story. In your story you must:
– Focus on a theme in the story and how it might play out if the story were to continue
– Write in a style similar to the author (we will review “style”)
– Remain true to the original plot and characters
– Provide one paragraph of analysis that explains what you have tried to accomplish in your “sequel.”
