Evidence Write a Super Short Story
PROMPT
In Paul Revere’s Ride, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes the night Paul Revere
warned people that British troops were coming. Longfellow uses poetic elements, such
as rhyme, rhythm, imagery, and stanzas, to shape his narrative.
Imagine that you have just 30 seconds to retell these same events. Which details
would you include? How would you maintain suspense? Write a super short story of
Paul Revere’s ride, and then time yourself reading it. Make sure you can finish within
half a minute!
PLAN
Write down five details about Paul Revere’s ride that you would like to
include in your short story.
