Writing Assignments



From time to time, I'll be posting some interesting writing assignments, for both teachers and students.

Most of these will be creative writing exercises because that is my area of expertise, but if a good idea from another area comes to mind, I'll post it here.

Meanwhile, if you have an interesting and original writing assignment, feel free to submit it here, and I will consider posting it on this site.
