Title: Free Writing Exercise Suggestions
Body: A recent request on the TESL listserv for free writing activity ideas received several interesting suggestions. Here is one response; look for more of these in the coming weeks. Although these came from teachers of English, they may be useful for teaching any language and a variety of levels. ---- Cambridge University Press has a book called The Mind's Eye by Maley, Duff and Grellet. It had unusual photos with creative writing prompts. The kind of prompts it featured... opened me up to a new and virtually limitless world of free prompts. Take any photo, strange or normal, and ask the following questions: - This is the last scene in a movie. What was the movie about? - This picture illustrates a poem. Write the poem. - What was happening right before this picture was taken? What will happen right after? - Write the conversation the people in the photo are having. - Write a story incorporating this scene. By the way, your must prominently feature the word "Shark" (some word that has absolutely no connection to the photo.) - Look at the object in the photo. It is someone's most treasured possession. Who owns it and why is it so treasured? Art is another great prompt, and I used to keep a couple of art books on my class shelves. Some art related questions: - Why is xyz a good or not-so-good name for this painting? - You are in this scene. How do you feel? What do you do or want to do? - Which of these two scenes would you rather be part of - why? - How are these two paintings the same? (The paintings don't have to look at all the same!) With abstract art (this also works well with musical prompts): - This represents an era or event in world history. Which one does it represent? It represents a person in your life, a kind of music, a place you know, something that happened to you.... Spelleri, M. Re: unique free writing prompts.
