ENGL 399 Writing Assignment #4

non-fiction story plans and ideas

CONCEPT: Transitioning from homeschooling to public school and how that shaped me

BASIC OUTLINE:
--Scene: speaking at graduation
--Scene: flashback to where I came from (academic adjustment)
--Reflect: social adjustment (with snapshots)
--Reflect: how the challenge reflected in who I was standing at the podium

SNAPSHOTS: 
--Since I only went part-time, I stood out. (Our team was called Odyssey, and my end-of-the-year award was "Phantom of the Odyssey.") 
--"What, do you get A's in homeschool classes too?" A benign-sounding quotation, betrayed by the scornful tone of the asker.
--"Do you go to class in your pajamas?" I must've gotten this question a million times.
