Crispin Creative Project

Your Task:
You will be writing a creative piece while demonstrating your ability to use the
writing conventions we have been learning throughout the unit. You may
choose any format from the provided list of suggestions; if you have an idea that
is not on the list, see Ms. Campbell to discuss further.

Your project must include:

o the use of properly punctuated and formatted dialogue,
o at least two transition words,
o at least one who/which clause,
o at least one dual quality adjective,
o and proper spelling and punctuation.

Please keep in mind:

You are expected to proofread your work to check for correct spelling,
capitalization, and grammar throughout your project. Do not use contractions
(can’t) or slang (u, gonna, wanna, etc.). Most importantly: have fun with this, get
creative, and do your best work; it’s time to show off what you know! 
