Blurbs

In class we looked at some blurbs for John Grisham's Ford County. We analyzed each story's blurb to identify the elements of the story (plot, character, conflict, theme, and setting).

blurb |blərb| noun 1. a short description of a book, movie, or other product written for promotional purposes and appearing on the cover of a book or in an advertisement.

Your next assignment is to write a blurb for 5 song stories (taken from your classmates' blogs- one can be yours). Each blurb should be about 50 words long. Your reader should be able to identify the elements of the story (however, the theme doesn't need to be explicitly stated).

Due Sunday, 3/28
