Romantic Era Short Stories

"Rip Van Winkle" is an example of folklore. As you learned earlier, folklore tells a story that is representative of a geographic location. Create your own folklore story for your generation, culture, or geographic location that has a Romantic theme. It can feature your current environment or one you have experienced in the past. Focus on incorporating a specific setting, archetype, and an unusual event. Your story should also include dialogue and literary devices such as similes, metaphors, personification, and imagery. If you need help getting started, remember to review the Creative Writing Resource in the Developmental Module.

Before you begin, review the Folklore Story Checklist to make sure that you include all of the items required for full credit.

Once you have completed your story, please submit your work to the dropbox.
