We began with a brief discussion of place.
Writers made a list of places from their past. Choosing one place that they had strong emotions about writers then brainstormed brief descriptors of the place.
The first writing prompt was that list of descriptors of a place.
Mr. Zartler did a lesson on setting.
Writers then worked on revising one of their pieces with a focus using setting to establish mood.
Mr. Zartler then handed out the following list of character motivations:
Writers were asked to create a character who is motivated by one of the concepts listed above and to have them enter the story writers are working on. (Of course if the writer doesn't like how this affects their story then don't have to use this.)
