Photo/ Prose Writing- Unit End Assignment (A30/31 Memoir Unit)- Assigned Jan 25/ 21

You will be responsible for selecting a photo from your life and the community around you-

 Knight shared her life with us through a visual journey (Cracks in the Sidewalk)

You will then write a PROSE that aligns with the photo that you have selected from your life.

In your writing, I must see a clear connection in both understanding photo analysis skills and characteristics of PROSE. Use her memoir as an example as she has done a wonderful job, weaving images and her story together.

For your PROSE writing piece, I would like to see a minimum of 10 to 14 sentences in length. I will be looking at language conventions (spelling and grammar), but also – are you pushing the limits with your writing and diving deep with language use and imagery? Remember: 

Prose is...

• Most everyday writing is in prose form

• The language of prose is typically straight forward without much decoration.

• Ideas are contained in sentences that are arranged into paragraphs

• There are no line breaks

• Sentences run to the right margin

• The first word of each sentence is capitalized

• Prose looks like large blocks of words
