Homework from last week: revise your own and one other person's work from the session. We will be spending the first 15 minutes or so comparing our efforts this week.
I was delighted to start, last week with a tray of items, and ask the class to identify them and their uses, and to find that they did not have a clue what some of them were! We had fun reading out their ideas and even more fun explaining what they were, as if to someone who had no idea and little or no cultural connection for reference, and discussing the results.
Choosing a different, more familiar object as stimulus we wrote a final piece (we will be discussing the revisions briefly this week) and also had a go at revising a piece provided for everyone to work on and compared ideas.
About Me
- Creative Writing Lanzarote
- I have lived in Lanzarote since 1998 when I came to the island as head of English at the British School. I have enjoyed running the Lanzarote Creative Writing Group since 2005. Several of our members have seen their names in print since joining the group. Two have finished novels now ready for submitting to publishers and have been kind enough to give me some credit for encouraging them to get this far. I wrote a regular column fro The Lanzarote Gazette for two years.
