About the Assignment

Students were tasked with rewriting the story of The Medicine Bag by Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve. The original story can be read by clicking on the title and author.

Students were to choose an alternative narrator to tell the events of the story. Students chose various perspectives, including characters who were present in the original, characters who were not, as well as animals, plants, and spirits.

Students were asked to purposefully include dialogue and imagery to create interest for the reader, as well as narrative voice.

This assignment always comes with some sense of difficulty in not only remembering the events of a story, but also creating perspective of a a person we do not know and having to put ourselves in their shoes or position. With that said, each student put in an incredible amount f effort and should be proud of their work.
