Families inadvertently create problems for their children. You can only really understand another person if you understand where they came from. It is impossible to escape from our family of origin. Every family is dysfunctional in its own way. Without significant family relationships, our lives are disastrous. SAMPLE

Students may bring a validated draft checked by the teacher. If the teacher has not seen the draft before the SAC they may not bring in any notes. Teacher may give two periods to aid in the explanation. KD has used the prompt "Every Family Is Dysfunctional In Its Own Way" from a teenage perspective. They may write any of a recount, exposition, narrative or a hybrid. The above sample shows this.

SAC 2 -
KD using prompt " You can only really understand another person if you understand where they came from." Must be for an adult audience and use a different text type and form to their last SAC.

Use two of the prompts as the basis for two pieces of writing.
