I know I would have had a great time doing them. I thought the first activity was hilarious [Ed. note: click <a title=\"Fiction Exercises\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.butler.edu\/mfashortridgeproject\/resources\/exercises\/fiction\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a> to see the prompt], even though it seemed somewhat hard for the them to the grasp the concept of a celebrity performing a random yet normal action. But when we moved on to the second activity [Ed. note: an exercise on setting], the ball really started to roll. I worked with K- and I-, and they both did fantastic on the activity. I asked the whole list of questions to them out loud, and both students responded with answers instantly. They didn&#8217;t even have to think about the scene &#8211; it was already in their head. They described it like it was a real physical place that they&#8217;ve been to, and I absolutely loved the results. When I unleashed them on writing and gave them their space, I- wrote up a storm, and K- also did really well. Unfortunately, I had to leave before the students read their work aloud, but I assume they did awesome [Ed. note: they did].<\/p>\n<p data-ft=\"{&quot;type&quot;:1}\"><em>Contributed by Melissa Rangel<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really enjoyed our activities on Tuesday.
