Series of writing exercises
1. Directions can be written in the style of appliance directions for things that don't usually require directions. For example, "How to break a human heart".
2. Characterisation:
(a) On a sheet of paper, make four columns. At the top of each column, write the name of a good friend of yours. Under each name, make a list of the character traits that each of these friends embodies, traits that you admire. Now, go across your page and circle the traits that seem to be common between at least 2 or 3 of the friends you listed. Using these circled traits, write a short sketch (200 words or less) of a character that embodies the OPPOSITE traits than the ones you've circled on your list.
(b) Make a list of gestures and indicative behaviors as if you were writing a how-to guide for the impersonation of the character you wish to describe. Gets the students deeper into the writing process as they begin their final stories.
1.00-1.30 pm Discussion with students on what kind of final project they would embark upon.
