Due:

Assignment #16

From Graphs to Stories
 
Check GC for your assigned story.  There are 4 different stories so you may have one different from your friends. Your goal is to write a story that's interesting and/or funny and/or believable or unbelievable about the graph.  The critical piece is that the story you write should match what the graph is showing.  Think about slopes, intercepts, and points of intersection to guide your story.  Possible prizes for best stories along with an opportunity to perform a dramatic reading. 
 
Stories should be well written with a minimum of 3 paragraphs.  Build a context, add some background, describe your characters, and have fun~

If you would like to receive a bit of extra credit to your test grade, you may complete quiz corrections.  They should follow the following format:
 
  • They need to be completed on a separate sheet of paper
  • ALL questions must be corrected that you did not receive full credit for (partial corrections will not be accepted)
  • Paper should be divided into 2 columns: In the first column, you should correct your work.  In the second column, you need a short couple sentences to describe what you did incorrectly and what you did to correct your work.
