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.
