Welcome to Week 2. The table is set and it's time to do some eating writing. We're going to be asking a lot in the next couple weeks, so we hope you're ready to dive in and get creative.
Here's the pre-work we'd like you to complete before we meet at 3 PM on Thursday, July 18, in the Sandbox:
Required
- Write a first draft of your piece and bring two hard copies to class.
- Enter the New Yorker caption contest (the one with the man who has a bag on his head) and send your entry to mbriddon@ihi.org by noon on Wednesday, July 10. (We'll present our top three in class (it'll be anonymous) and we'll vote on a winner.)
- Write a six-word memoir and send it to mbriddon@ihi.org by noon on Wednesday, July 10.
- Here's a two-minute overview of six-word memoirs and even more information if you're curious.
Optional
- Watch this five-minute TED lesson on writing an introduction. (It's pretty darn cool.)
- Review these resources on how to write a good lead/introduction:
Again, please feel free to reach out to any faculty -- Dan, Jane, Becca, Azeem, Val, or Mike -- if you'd like some feedback on your piece before class.
