You know that book "Men are from Mars, Women from
Venus"? Well, here's a prime example of that. The
unverified claim is that this was turned in as an actual
English assignment.
Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem
story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off
with the person, sitting to his or her immediate right.
One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short
story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then
add another paragraph to the story. The first person will
then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth.
Remember to re-read what has been written each time, in
order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when
both agree a conclusion has been reached.

In-class Assignment for Wednesday
At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she
wanted. The camomile, which used to be her favorite for
lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl,
who once said, in happier times, that he liked camomile.
But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind
off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she
thought about him too much, her asthma start acting up
again. So camomile was out of the question.
Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the
attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important
things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed
asthmatic bimbo named Laurie, with whom he had spent one
sweaty night over a year ago.
"A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into
his transgalactic communicator.
"Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so
far ..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle
beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through
his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent
him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.
