Fictional Narrative

Over
the past few years, Cohasset has grown tremendously in size. As a result, class sizes have increased in middle school. Write a research paper that analyzes the growth in class sizes and the impact the growth has had on middle school teachers and students. Nobody seems to know why Cohasset’s population has grown so rampantly over the past few years. There is a theory that the population has increased as a result of an alien invasion. Write a short story about where these aliens came from, why they’re here, and what they plan to do here. As we grow up, our hometowns become the source for our fondest memories. Recall a time when you did something in Cohasset that was memorable. Tell the story of what the memorable event was, what happened, and why it was important to you. Use descriptive language to portray the event. Slide8
