Reading assignment for 11/5: read Jamaica Kinkaid's flash fiction story "Girl," on p. 289 in What If?, and Pam Houston's short story "How to Talk to a Hunter," on p. 362.
Both stories are told in second-person narrative voice, but each with a very different style and approach.
Your writing assignment is to write a story in the second person. It could be flash fiction length, like Jamaica Kinkaid's story, or longer, and can be about anything. The only requirement is to stay in the second-person voice.
If you're having trouble getting started, try doing the "How To" exercise on p. 280 in What If? Have fun!
