Historical Fiction Story Reflection

In humanities class, we were assigned to write a historical fiction story taking place during Apartheid.  We had to have it have something to do with the Soweto Uprising.  So, immediately, I had an idea:

What if a white person became friends with a black person, and the black person went to the uprising?

It seemed like a good idea, but I needed to have a reason for them to meet.  LIGHT BULB!  How about the white person is very curious and she wonders why she can't go to one part of town.  That seemed like a good idea and I ended up using it.This story kept building and building and eventually it was that I wasn't just doing this for class, I actually enjoyed writing this story.

The learning targets were:

• I can engage and orient the reader.
• I can use narrative techniques to describe experiences, events, and characters in my historical fiction.
• I can use transitional words and phrases to move my story from one moment to the next.
• I can accurately depict how Apartheid affected the lives of South Africans.
• I can use the conventions of writing to communicate my story.

I have lost track of the rubric so I don't know which one I did best at. Sorry :(
