“Lifting a Line” Choose an interesting sentence from a piece of text (poem, novel, essay, etc.) and use it as a first line for a new entry. This strategy can open the door to new ideas and improve fluency. This also allows for creative experimentation.

“Lifting a Line” Example

“Worst Case Scenario” This strategy uses the problem-solution expository structure. Choose a disastrous situation and devise a strategic plan in order to deal with it, survive it, or fix it. Decide what your attitude towards your subject (tone) is going to be. You may be sincere and realistic, sarcastic and humorous, detached and matter-of-fact, or be over-the-top frantic. It’s up to you. MENTOR TEXT

ZOMBIE ATTACK If there was a zombie attack, where would you hide? What would be your survival plan? Explain.

Ghost Story Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not? Do you believe in anything supernatural? Explain. Tell a story you’ve experienced or heard about…

Moral Dilemma: Wild and Stormy Night You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus: A sick old lady who could die if she did not get help. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect man/woman of your dreams who you may never see again. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? Explain why you chose the person to go with you and why you chose to leave the others behind. How did you feel about your decision?

A monologue is a speech presented by a single character, most often to express their thoughts aloud, though sometimes also to directly address another character or the audience. Choose a portrait and write a monologue based on that character’s point of view. Put yourself in the shoes of that character and speak as if you are that person. Use “I,” the first person POV. Monologue

MONOLOGUE CREATE A CONFLICT Questions to consider when writing your speech: What does this person want? need? dream about? What's stopping him/her from getting what they want? need? dream about? What obstacles do they face? How have they arrived at this particular point in their life?
