Diary

Imagine that you are a sailor or character in one of our sea stories. You might invent a personality from one of these sea adventures or write in the voice of one of the characters. Write a diary entry of 750 to 900 words for the first day out to sea, a day on the voyage, and the last day out at sea. You should conduct DSC Libraryresearch, NOT Web/Google/Wikipedia research on the time period, the text, and the realistic activities a person in the rank or role you've chosen might be involved in. Consider the experiences he or she would have. Explore the issues, emotions, and thoughts the person would encounter. Be creative both textually and visually here.

Consider digital applications like Sway, Canva, Adobe Spark, Microsoft Publisher, Keynote, Quark, PageMaker, or even a Web site development application like Weebly, Square, or Wix. You can also use the page design tools of Microsoft Word or Apple Pages. These are just suggestions.
