Today we began with a creative brainstorming technique called word association. We started with creating webs of associated words of common nouns, and then we moved on to more challenging abstract nouns. Next, I discussed final lines and endings with Chase. We read over the final lines of many different stories and discussed what type of narrative significance, thematic context, and larger consequences they might hold. Chase then brainstormed the final lines of the hypothetical stories she could have created with each word association cloud she made in the beginning of class. Lastly, I asked Chase to write an ending for the story based on a photo she began yesterday.
