What to write my vignette about?

The whole point of this assignment is for you to do it. It’s a topic you’re an expert on (yourself), it’s one that’s hard to find in an essays-for-sale site online, and it gives your teacher a baseline for your writing skills.

If you have any relatives, enjoy any activities, celebrate any holidays, have any childhood memories, admire any heroes, ever read a book or saw a movie, collect anything, cook anything, have your own room or don’t have your own room, or play any games or sports, you have subject matter. And that’s just for starters.

Try tapping into your child hood memories.

Write about

1. What you smell
2. What you hear
3. What you see
4. What it feels like
5. What it tastes like
6. How it made you feel overall
7. What you learned from the experience of this one particular memory
