Write a synopsis to a science fiction story (your own original one (or use AI to help you generate one). The story should speak to the themes in this unit on toxicity. How can your science fiction story challenge readers to think about or consider solutions to problems posed by living with toxicity? You are not writing a short story fiction (although it’ll be really cool if you are so inspired and did!) You are writing a clear synopsis.
Then you will create a photo essay on powerpoint, keynote or even word. You will upload it as a PDF only. Please do not send us to an external link because they are not always accessible for all.

First slide: compelling photo + synopsis to a sci/fi story (from #2 above)
Make at least another 4 more slides (no more than 6) which will include the following. Label each of the slides with the following. It is a photo essay so each slide should have a compelling photo to help guide your text.
