2021-09-28T17:09:54Z

Due: Sep 29, 2021 by 11:59pm

Write a quick response to our interpretive question:

What causes Songsam to set Tokchae free instead of killing him?

Remember that good response will make a claim (a one-sentence answer to the question) and include an explanation to back up the claim that is supported by textual evidence.

We will take 10 minutes for this quickwrite. Develop your response as much as you can in that time. You will not be marked down if you don't finish.

And here is the Fluency Exercise from today in case you missed it (do not do the fluency exercise in this canvas assignment though):

#14 – Fluency: Show, Don’t Tell (9.28)

Write as much as you can during the time given. The focus is on getting ideas and details down on the paper (or screen), rather than on getting the grammar and punctuation perfect. Keep writing instead of editing what you have written.

Pay attention to organization, but not so much that it limits your writing. Stream of consciousness is better than a blank page.

If you are struggling to get started, try changing the prompt a little. Change “he” to “she”; “cat” to “dog”; “worst” to “best” and see if it helps.

Prompt:

The house was abandoned.

or

The show was entertaining.
