Write the fiction or poetry yourself. Although you are free to invent your
approach, I would suggest thinking about the assignment in terms of style and theme. One idea is to take a
style and adapt it for your own purposes. For example, how would you write a Shakespearean sonnet about
sitting in traffic? Another idea is to modernize one of the poems or short stories we have read. For example,
how would Kate Chopin write “The Storm” if it was set in New Orleans today?
