THIS ASSIGNMENT IS ONLY FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT ILLUSTRATING YOUR OWN CHILDREN'S BOOK. IF YOU ARE DOING YOUR OWN DRAWINGS YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS ONE...
We’re in the middle of a season of celebrations and family gatherings, many of which are centered around food. I’d like us to take some time to think and write about our connections to food—memories, opinions, preferences, experiences. I can think of all sorts of directions this contemplation might take you…
Please write a piece of your choice inspired by food. The piece might be 300-500 words, any genre. I thought of a few ideas, but there isn’t really a wrong answer here, so feel free to shape this assignment however you see fit. This might take a really personal slant for you, or you can take a more observational, factual approach if you’re more comfortable. Include an image. Please post your work by the end of class on Tuesday.
Just a few possible approaches:
a short essay re: the story behind a family food or tradition
re: what Thanksgiving really means
re: a person who has shaped you through food
re: a childhood food memory
a longer poem re: a memorable meal
re: a delicious food
re: a disgusting food
re: a cook at work
re: the scene in a kitchen
re: the scene around a dinner table
re: gratefulness (or lack thereof)
re: a childhood food memory
a recipe for an abstract concept
(love, disaster, family, the perfect meal, a breakup, etc.)
(love, disaster, family, the perfect meal, a breakup, etc.)
a letter to someone you’re thankful for
a letter to a cook you know and love praising his/her food
a letter to thank the host for all the work put into the family feast
a short story re: a meal gone wrong
a short story re: an epiphany about thankfulness or appreciation
