Activities & Assignments

PP: FFW 

Students will begin with a creative prompt in response to a photograph selected by the instructor. Certain words will be forbidden, but students must respond with a description of the photo. Class will discuss their strategies and word choices. 

Students will then embark upon their own novel intros! They will be provided with limiting parameters and starting points, but students will be largely free to creatively write an orginal word with descriptive details, hooks, and slowly revealed facets that create intrigue and mystery.
