Imagine that you have won the lottery.
Write a piece in the genre of your choice-
1. narrative - a story that centers on this topic (this can be written in first person or third person - it can include you or fictional characters)
2. expository - a step by step piece that states what you should do with the lottery winnings.
3. persuasive - argument piece that focuses on what winners should do with the money.
4. poem/song
