Unit 6: Assignment: Future Tense

Future Predictions


You've written about the history of writing, now write about where we are headed in terms of communication/technology/advancements/etc. Where you think we as a civilization are headed?

This assignment should take the form of a story, or an essay from the point of view of someone living in the future. Because this is a fictional narrative you will be expected to incorporate one Narrative Technique in your story or essay. Select one of the options from the category. If you can think of another that you'd like to try instead just clear it with your instructor before you begin.

This assignment should include 700 words (roughly two pages if you still keep track of things that way).

Be creative. Post a few of your predications on the Future Forum.

Don't forget this little item!

This is the only Narrative assignment in the course. How well do you think you did? At the end of your submission, skip a few lines and assign yourself a grade. Why do you think that you've earned that grade? Is there a part of your submission which could be improved?
