Hi Anna! While I'm unable to do your assignment for you, I'd love to share how I often approach writing a narrative.
- Think about who your main character will be! You may want to choose someone who relates to the words you need to use (ie. an inventor with an "innovative" new approach to toasting bread or an Instagrammer who can't help but post about all the latest "fads").
- Think about your setting! This might be based around your main character, or it could be inspired by one of your words (ie. a school where students have to "conform" to a dress code or a restaurant where they serve foods from a particular "culture").
- Think about the main action of your narrative! What does your main character want, and how will they get it by the end of the story? Is there a problem that needs to be fixed? A competition underway? Something that needs to be found? Or something to be learned? Perhaps an "anthropology" professor will go to the library in search of information about a long-lost culture! Or maybe the aforementioned Instagrammer will "innovate" a unique new style that then becomes a "fad."
Narrative stories like these can be totally logical...or totally wacky! So feel free to choose characters, settings, and actions that are interesting or funny to you. Good luck!
