A Future Told: Express Yourself in One Page
SAUSD LitCon Website with rubrics, entry guidelines, cover page, and media arts statement.
I encourage all students who are able to attend LitCon to submit to the contest. It can be a great experience. For the last two years, ALL district finalists have come from Godinez. 🙂
For this assignment, keep the LitCon thematic lens of the idea of A Future Told in the back of your mind as you create your original creative piece in poetry, prose, or media arts (use your own photos, videos, or a program like Canva or Adobe Express to create).
You will write a text and record a video of your performance (or submit your media arts).
District’s Intro: “Stream into the infinite realms of the future through a blend of poetry, prose, and media. "A Future Told" invites participants to explore speculative narratives, poetic imaginations, and visual stories that consider the legacy and evolution of language and society. This theme challenges creators to envision the impact of today’s world on tomorrow, crafting tales and verses that bridge the known and the unknown and multimedia pieces that bring these futures to life. Whether it’s through the careful crafting of a new world in prose, the vivid imagery of a poem, or the dynamic storytelling of a film script or song, participants are encouraged to push the limits of their creative expressions to offer a glimpse into what the future might hold."
Thursday, January 23 by 3 PM- Deadline to submit to the SAUSD Literary Arts Contest (review the requirements and include all required forms with your entry).
If you are selected as a finalist, you will perform at LitCon, scheduled for February 19 and Boca de Oro.
Please make sure the work is your own creation from your wonderful brain and not plagiarized and words are not AI-generated. We are celebrating your voice and your message!
