English 846: Narrative Inquiry & Narrative Writing – Task: Write a Story of Learning

Dr. Gian Pagnucci

Task Overview

Write a story about learning something or about trying to learn/school related experience.

  • This may be school related or it may be non-school related.
  • Tell the story in as much detail as you can. Try to recall as much as you can about the event.
  • Make sure it’s a story you can share.
  • This doesn’t have to be a perfect story that teaches any particular lesson. We’ll decide what it might mean later.

Think of this story as a fresh piece of pottery newly molded from clay and easily reshaped and reformed as we go: in other words, the story is a starting point, it doesn’t have to be perfect.

Task Guidelines

Your story should be around 3-5 pages long depending on the kind of story you are trying to tell.

Make enough copies of your story to share with the class.
