One of my electives is Creative Writing. The bulk of the class is completing a writing prompt every day in our journal. We can pick one out of three possible prompts every day. One prompt is a single word and we write whatever comes to mind when we hear that word. The other two options are traditional prompts. We have to spend 10 minutes writing about the prompt, no more and no less. Every Friday, our last week of prompts gets graded and we get a new set. I usually do my prompts in chunks of 2-3 at Akamai a few days a week, rather than trying to do one on busier days.
We have to use Self-Direction skills to get our writing prompts done. We only have Creative Writing once a week and we don't have Ms. Emily for any other classes, so it's up to us to make sure we finish all of the prompts by Friday morning. She can't be there to make sure we get the work done; we have to take initiative and do them on our own time. |
