Exercise

We brain stormed ideas about war and conflict around a triangle shape. The three corners represented the traditional, the out there and the way out there ideas. We took the ideas to write a different kind of war story.

Terry – The world is your oyster, Elizabeth – The best way to stop war, Wendy – The war started last week,  Helene – Trumpled to death, Cathy - The assassination of Dumbo,  David C - The secret meeting and Lynn – Helicopters above IGA.


Homework

Expand on the exercise above or write about War in the suburbs
