Abstract: The document outlines a series of writing tasks designed for students to develop a writing portfolio that meets specific standards. Each task focuses on a distinct theme or genre, such as character creation, science fiction, multiple perspectives (Rashomon task), myths and cultural narratives, comedy horror, and listicles. For each task, students are instructed to produce crafted and controlled writing aimed at their peers and English teachers, with clear guidelines on structure, language use, and error checking. The tasks include various options—such as short stories, poems, letters, investigative articles, and opinion pieces—supported by recommended readings and planning resources to guide students in exploring ideas relevant to the assigned themes.
