This assignment is totally different from our first four essays. It's more like a creative writing assignment.
[BTW, I hate the term "creative writing" because it assumes that other kinds of writing aren't creative.]
Students will create their own 8-page zine that engages with the ideas in Poe's story in a fresh, vibrant, 2023 way. Be funny. Be weird. Be outlandish. Be norm-core. The choice is yours.
Here is a link to the Poe short story.

Images (drawing, photography, collage, etc) will combine with your writing to make a truly unique testament to your creativity and writing.
The writing should be no shorter than 100 words.
Use typography instead of hand-lettering unless there is a reason for hand-lettering (for instance, if the story is told through the eyes of a child).
OK. But wait. What is a zine?
Directions: At the end of class on Thursday, each student should have completed 8 mini-pages (3.5 inches by 4 inches). More details to follow.
