First Assignment | Short Story and Creative Writing

Student's first in-class assignment is to read the story "There Will Come Soft Rains" by Ray Bradbury

There were then asked to respond to the following questions:

1. If you survived the events of the story and you could only take three things. What would they be? Why?

2. When you discovered the situation in the story, what would you do? How would you react?

If students were not able to complete or missed the class, they should come during Flex or arrange another time to complete the assignment.

This was a practice assignment to have a look at student's ideas, creativity, and their writing in general.
