Creative Writing Camp- Day 2
Day 2 of Creative Writing camp was all about inspiration. Mr. Maurice
began our day with another fun activity. Everyone got a piece of paper and
wrote a sentence down. Once they were done they passed the paper to their right
and the next person would add a sentence to create a story. At the end we
shared our silly creations. This exercise taught the kids to be creative, to
write with no boundaries, and to think outside the box.
Next, each student got a camera and was put into a group. Their goal
was to go outside in the neighborhood and take pictures of anything that caught
their eye. And then they were to come back and write a short story about one of
the pictures that inspired them. The kids did just that. At the LYN House they
chose one picture and began writing. Everyone’s story was different, unique,
and exciting.
To end the day students got back in their story groups to continue what
they started the day before. They all worked hard on making their story more detailed.
The kids worked with a lot of enthusiasm on this second day of writing camp.
They learned how to be inspired by the environment around them and realized that
a simple picture can turn into an enthralling story.
Taking some photos!
