Favorite Writing Assignment

My favorite writing assignment was one that I had to do in high school. I had to pick a scene from //Romeo and Juliet// and re-write the scene. The teacher allowed me to be creative. I decided to set my scene in modern times. I chose the last scene in the play and extended it to include a court trial between the two feuding families. I enjoyed this writing assignment because it was both fun and educational. It took a while to decipher Shakespeare's language but ultimately, I gained a better understanding of the play by the time I was finished with my paper.
