Staple all documents together. 2. Title your 55-word version story. 3. Use size 12 Times New Roman Font. __I will evaluate your story based on it’s the following criteria: __ 1. That you develop a compelling problem or conflict and resolution. Remember, a resolution doesn’t necessarily require that the conflict or problem gets solved. We simply need to learn something as a reader by story’s end. 2. Your adherence to the two basic rules for good creative writing: - Show don’t tell. - Vary patterns of emphasis. 3. I will not grade any story packet that is incomplete. All elements must be there. You will also lose one letter grade for every day that the assignment is late.
 * Remember that you should be working with one story idea as you trim to 55 words. Don’t start or submit a new story for each draft.
