### This is one of the possible [[assignments for fiction]] you can choose. (T3: Language) **Note:** The questions in this assessment are asking you about [[mentor texts for fiction|a *fictional* short story]], not one of the *nonfiction* mentor texts (e.g. writers writing about writing). 1. First, finish these two sentence starters: Storytelling is not _____. Storytelling is _____. Here are examples of different people’s responses: “[[storytelling is - is not]]”. 2. Now give us a quotation from the mentor story you read that connects to what you just said. 3. Finally, explain the connection between the quotation and your "is not/is" statement, in terms of how the author uses language. Here is an [example of the whole thing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oN7w271q_xXbHie1QhvfuuTTgxaPPQGarNlBF5FEYBc/edit?usp=sharing).
