GLArts: Writing with an Unreliable Narrator

(2nd and 3rd period) Now that we have read "The Tell-tale Heart," I would like you to try writing with a first-person narrator.  

Remember that this means that the story they tell is not really how things happened.  There are many reasons why the narrator would do this, so you need to think about the reasons your narrator is an unreliable story-teller. Are they biased in some way or just have something to hide? Do they make bad assumptions about the world, bad sources of information, or are they mentally ill and suffering from delusions, hallucinations, or altered states of mind?

Read this article from writers digest for some suggestions on how to do this well.

You may write on a google doc or on paper, be sure to share your document with me if you work online.
