To wrap up the semester, let’s switch to the creative side of writing for a moment. The
Handmaid’s Tale stops abruptly at the end of Chapter 46. Readers are left wondering
what will happen to Offred in the immediate future. We may wonder, too, what becomes
of other characters like Luke. Although the “Historical Notes” at the end reveal that
Gilead eventually falls, we wonder how long it lasted and, perhaps, what finally brought
it down.
Let your imagination run wild! Choose ONE of the following options to complete
for Project 3:
1. Create a news report
You’re a reporter for The Gilead Times. Oh, wait! There’s no free press in Gilead!
You’re a reporter for The Toronto Star. Create a brief news article that informs readers
of a newsworthy event that occurs after the novel ends. For example, you might have
an interview with Luke about his escape and concern for his wife. Or, you might imagine
Offred joining Mayday and participating in some act of resistance that makes
international headlines. Your article should be styled like an actual piece of journalism. It
should be a minimum of 500 words and free of mechanical errors.
2. Create an additional chapter
Imagine yourself as Offred. Tell us what happens to you after the Eyes take you away
from the Commander’s home. Or you might skip forward in time, tell us where you
ended up and how you got there. Use first-person narration and try to mimic Offred’s
voice as you’ve come to know it in the novel. Your chapter should be a minimum of 500
words and free of mechanical errors.
Your project must be all ORIGINAL CONTENT. This is meant to be a fun exploration of your
creative side. It doesn’t have to be Pulitzer-Prize-winning stuff. I just want you to try this
out and do your best. DO NOT use generative AI to complete this assignment.
Doing so will cause you to automatically fail.
You will be graded as follows:
Originality/Creativity–20%: Your work creates, for your readers, a continuation of the
events of Atwood’s novel in an interesting way.
Relevance—30%: Your work logically continues the story, demonstrating that you’ve
closely read the novel.
Mechanics—50%: Your work is a minimum of 500 words in length. The layout and
organization are up to you.
It is free of mechanical errors. It is wholly original content. AI detection will be used to ensure this.
