Agenda
1) Warmup:
If you were writing a story, what would it be about?
Who would be the protagonist? What is his or her name?
What does the protagonist want?
Why can't they get it?
2) The Soundtrack Game
Homework
None
Today we played another creative writing game. The kids all planned a short story during the warmup, and then wrote the entire story in just 8 minutes. A song played, and the kids tried to write the story to match the music, as though the song were the soundtrack of the story.
The song we used was "The Rumble," from West Side Story, a rock version done by Chick Corea's Electric Band and Steve Vai's Monsters.
