Assignments: even more excited about microfiction options

After discovering microfiction myself back in December of 2019 (which seems a lifetime ago...), I introduced them as a class activity in Spring 2020. Yes, the pandemic semester. People responded to that really enthusiastically, so I wove the microfiction even more into the class last semester, and LOTS of people wrote stories which we turned into a book: Tiny Tales of Fall 2020.

So, my biggest hope for the assignments overall this semester is that lots of people will again experiment with microfiction and contribute their stories to a book.

For my own work in the class, I'll be focusing on the project (something trickster-related; I'm not sure what yet), plus I want to do famous last words and the connection Padlet every week. (The way the Padlet turned out last semester was so cool!) 

With the two weeks break, that will give me most of what I need for the class, along with doing storytelling and story labs for Weeks 2-10. That's the plan anyway. Planning in a pandemic feels mostly impossible, though. Anyway, I'm excited to be writing trickster stories... and there are tricksters everywhere in the reading, so I'll have fun planning out my reading strategy in Week 2. :-)
