For the next two assignments, a personal - narrative unit followed by a creative - writing workshop, I only required that the piece meet the specifications of its genre(体裁)and that it contain a thesis. The results were staggering. The students took on diverse topics and turned in stories, 10 to 20 pages each, with characters that broadened my view and touched my heart.
