Field Work: Describing a Setting

Write 100 words or so based on your field observations of a new place. Make the setting appear either extremely negative or very positive. For fun, you might try describing a dirty or disgusting setting as positively as possible or a clean and bright setting as negatively as possible.

Explore the possibilities! Add a polysyndeton if you can.

Describing a Person

Write a paragraph about someone that includes one example from each category: physical characteristics; behaviours; anecdotes. Include asyndeton if you can. Any length is fine. I'll provide a sample on the weekend for you to follow.

Nice to meet you all. I think we have a solid class this term!
