I’m five weeks into teaching this semester, which means next week’s the half-way point already.
That sort of makes me sad.
Time flies.
These first 6 weeks are always a little dry.
We deconstruct and discuss the elements of fiction (conflict, characterization, point of view, setting, etc.).
Sexy, hunh?
So I try to humanize it a bit by reading from Art & Fear, sharing stacks of library books, and offering up writing prompts.
Here are the prompts so far this semester.
Help yourselves…
My greatest fear is…
When I grow up…
I used to be… but now I am…
On the outside I’m … on the inside I’m…
I wish…
What great prompts. I’m going to send them to my mom who teaches an intro to writing class, if that’s ok with you. I may even tackle one or two myself.
