In pairs or on your own, begin a story or script including as many of the students in our class as you can. Bring out the things that make each person unique using your notes from the Me-Bags.
For example, from last semester's class if one of those students were being chased by a bad guy, Raelyn could hit him by sliding out the slide of her trombone -- not that she would do that, really since it might hurt the trombone! Chandler could hit him with a ping-pong paddle, and Kalie could pelt him with handfuls of pennies pulled from her very girly purse.
Use one of these conflicts, or another of your own:
-- You and your classmates are working together as a Mission Impossible team to . . .
or
-- You and your classmates are saving the world from an alien invasion.
or
-- You and your classmates are stranded together on an island.

I really enjoyed reading your post on “Cave Writing.” The idea of connecting ancient storytelling methods with modern creative expression is inspiring. It’s interesting how even today, writers and even dissertation writers who rely heavily on structure and research can learn from the simplicity and clarity of early human communication. Your insights reminded me that strong writing often begins with raw ideas and genuine expression. Thanks for sharing such a thoughtful perspective!
