Q: What is the definition of creativity?

  • Can you name a favorite story that you think fits your definition?
  • What makes these stories interesting, funny or unusual?
  • Some of these stories may have been based on the writers' own experiences, while others were simply wonderfully creative products of the imagination.

Assignment:

  1. Choose an interesting, funny or unusual photo from the Phunny Photos folder Mr. Janes kindly placed in your English IV folder. 
    • Yes, students may use the same photo. 
    • In fact, I'd be curious to see the different results of shared photos.
  2. Insert the photo in a new Word document.
    • The location on the document is up to you.
  3. Write a school-appropriate story in the Word document about what happened before, during and after (plot) the photo was taken.
    • Show clear development of:
    • Your story must be 200 words in length, minimum.
    • Stories can be completely imaginary or you can try to re-create the factual aspects so that your story has a straight news approach.
    • Try folding Literary Elements into your story as you see fit. Adding these ingredients will only help with the cooking and the end result will be even more tasty. 
      • For now, adding more elements than rising action, climax and falling action is voluntary. 
      • Soon it will be required.

Save your story as phunny photo prose in your English IV folder.
