Your English assessment is to write a "vignette" based on the photo you chose to analyze...
A vignette is a short, well written sketch or descriptive scene. Think of the two Steinbeck pieces we read-”Breakfast” and “The Turtle.” It does not have to necessarily have a plot which would make it a story, but it does reveal something about the elements in it. It may reveal character, or mood or tone. It may have a theme or idea of its own that it wants to convey. It is the description of the scene or character that is important. This is your chance to be very descriptive and creative! Paint the picture with your words.
This vignette should be at least 3 paragraphs. You will be graded using a six-trait rubric—with emphasis on word choice and voice, i.e., how detailed and descriptive you are. Use Steinbeck as an exemplar. You will work on this in class.
