For Tuesday, October 26th, please post the following exercise to the shared googledoc:
Your last task is to take the pieces from our 5 weeks of workshop and weave them together to form one narrative.
I encourage you to use a montage approach to flesh out the many dimensions of that place and your relationship to it:
-
Experiment with time: cross cut between memories and present day
-
Experiment with point of view: weave between background and first-person thoughts
-
Experiment with location: the narrative can move from the physical location and then revisit it
These pieces will be due Tuesday, October 26th, and we will discuss your challenges in hanging them together cohesively in the forum.
