Task 10: The Life of a _____________________:

Today you are going to write a short story with a twist--the story will be told from the perspective of an inanimate object--a hammer, a soda machine, a banana, etc.
 Directions: 
1. Select an inanimate object, preferably one that is connected to your topic.
2. Find out as much as possible about this object using your best research skills.
3. Write from a first person point of view, using the pronoun “I.”
4. Include realistic details to accurately portray the inanimate object’s location, purpose, size, material, value, and life span.
5. Try to write at least 250 words, using correct grammar, a title. 
6. Include an image of the object. 
This website includes a bunch of great examples!


*Here is the "Lord of War" intro that we talked about yesterday. Hope it give you some ideas.
