1. Seedfolks Narrative Assessment
Your assessment for this novel study is to create a narrative “chapter” in the style of Seedfolks based on your life.
You will want to begin thinking about what sort of information or events you want to talk about in your chapter. If you’re stuck, look back at your journal entries. Maybe one of those prompts could help you decide what will be in your chapter.
Today, we’ll focus on the easy part though: the cover.
