Assignment #17

From Graphs to Stories
 
Check GC for your assigned story.  There are 3 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~
