Project Brief:
BRIEF: You will write 600 - 800 word short story. The stimulus for the story will be given to you by your
teacher. Work through each of the steps on this brief. Doing everything in each step means you’ve

Your short story must be original individual work – you cannot use the work of others and pass it off
as your own. This is plagiarism and will result in a zero grade.

days, -20%; 3 days, -30%; 4 days, zero grade).
