Community Vignette Information:
A community can be defined as a neighborhood, a club, a street, a town, a housing area, a state or an ethnicity. Please be sure to mention the “definition” of your community in the vignette.
To guide you as you begin to write your vignette, answer one of the following questions:
- How has your community “defined” you as a person? What connects you to your community?
- What struggles/challenges do you see in your community? Address this by describing your community today and the changes you hope to see take place in the next twenty years? What impact do you think these changes will have on your community?
The following elements must be evident in your vignette:
- Theme (unifying idea)
- Figurative Language (simile, metaphor, personification, etc.)
- Imagery (paint pictures using your words): Use sensory details so the reader can see, hear, touch, feel and taste your words.
- Interesting title
Format:
- Written in first-person, narrative form
- 1 1/2 to 2 pages typed, double-spaced
