Today we are going to change things up a little. We've been doing a lot of responses and a lot of work on photography. I want to give you all a chance to do some free writing.
You will need a paper and a writing utensil.
You may go wherever you all feel comfortable in the high school, but you have to stay unplugged, away from the things of the internet.
Here are some possible prompts - you may pick one of these or one of your choosing and write - lets say 400-500 words (or 2 pages of poetry) and complete the story.
There are no rules. Write a poem. Write a short story. Write an essay. Just start writing, and have fun.
You will need to type this into the computer, so make sure your finish in time to get back to the room and type it into your blog.Creative Writing Prompts
