Fri 4/25--Re-write the first 150 words of your story from THREE rather different POVs for a minimum word count of 450 words. Please bring in THREE copies of your assignment to share with classmates during a mini-workshop in class on Friday.
Note: make sure to bring three copies of the original opening, too!
Note: changing the POV may change your opening in surprising ways. Let the change in POV dictate where the new opening goes--possibly in a very different direction from the old one.
Please bring your reader to class.
