This class began with a free write.
Mr. Zartler presented the following
A picture of the Jamestown Bridge
Then he presented this video of the Old Jamestown Bridge.
Then he presented this web page with a story about the Jamestown bridge from this week, and the class watched the video.
The final image was another view of the bridge where the video news story (above was shot).
Students were asked to use these series of images and news coverage as a prompt for their own writing.
After writing there was a chance to share what was written, and to discuss how different writers used the prompts.
Mr. Zartler concluded this portion of the class by discussing the term "absurd." We discussed what a story that seems absurd tells us about the world.
Then the class looked at this blog.
The class discussed whether this article represented something absurd or tragic or something else.
After the discussion students were reminded that they have a Four page piece of short fiction due in the next week. The story should address death in some way. STUDENTS SHOULD BRING A ROUGH DRAFT OF THIS STORY TO CLASS ON MODNAY/TUESDAY.
Also due during the first class next week is the spiral with fifteen (15) new pages of writing.
