Writing 12
Email your Children Story - in the outline I emailed to you - by me before midnight on November 9th.
For the next in-class class (on November 16th) we will be meeting to share our pre-writing brainstorm, which look like this:
- Title of a song (a real song and it does not have to be one you have written)
1. Story idea inspired by that song
2. Story idea inspired by that song
3. Story idea inspired by that song
I'd like you to do this for 7 songs. It's quite a feat. It will take some time. You'll need to put thought into this. It will be difficult. Trying. Arduous. You get the idea. Have fun with it and good luck.
