In my American Studies class, we had to interview someone in the class and write a short story about them. The story had to be at least 750 words in legnth and had to be signed by the person it was about. If you click on the link, it will bring you to the scoring sheet used for my story.

Also in my American Studies class, we had to pick an author that published a book in the 1950's and judge them to see if they deserve the title as a Great American Author. Once we decided if they deserved it or not, we wrote a nomination letter explaining why they should or shouldn’t deserve the title. If the letter was written well and was persuasive, than your author might be chosen for the title, so it was important to communicate well through your writing.
