Status Report

As part of an agency, it is your duty to summarize your findings for the public. Take all of the group that your agency has done and sum it up. This can be case-by-case or in any other format. Write a detailed synopsis that references the evidence and assignments your team has put together, then draw conclusions. 

Focus On The Background

There is the main character and then there are the background characters. Pick a background/side character (or a character that isn’t the main character) from any movie, show, novel, etc. and write a story that stars them. It’s time for them to get the limelight. This story can be about anything you choose but remember to be creative! This character could be having their own adventure or an adventure with the main. The world is your oyster in the assignment!!

A Story In Alphabet

Create a story that uses words that begin with the letters of the alphabet consecutively. For example, A big cat dug eight… But you have to go all the way to the letter Z. Try to make as much sense as possible. Or if you really can’t, then go crazy. Be creative and have fun!
