Finish Line

To conclude Unit 3: The Persistence of Memories, students will construct a narrative modeled after Oedipus Rex using the prompt below:

How can memories or previous knowledge shape our future?

Reflect on the novel studied in this unit and how it deals with the memories and dreams of characters. Create an original narrative in which the protagonist is driven to action by the discovery of an old prophecy. Use what you have learned from this novel and your own prior knowledge to inform your writing. You may choose to write about an imagined character or you may write a personal narrative reflecting your own experiences. Be sure to describe the prophecy and to make the connection between this prophecy and the primary conflict of your narrative. Remember to include the following in your narrative:

• a well-developed protagonist and other characters

• a plot that includes pivotal moments

• a distinct conflict and resolution

• a clear setting

• dialogue and descriptive details

• a thoughtful theme or reflection connected to the prompt

Final narratives should be submitted to Google Classroom by March 11 at midnight

Narratives are to be PUBLISHED and distributed to the student body
