Storytelling

Today we explored our own writing as we interacted with the short film, A Thousand Words. The tension in the film reminded us of the role of suspense in good story telling and writing. It was also very interesting to watch everyone write without any difficulties. Most of you were able to come up with one page full of text without much of a struggle. Keep feeding the imagination! We turned our attention to an even greater story, that of our own South Florida and looked at images from our bioregion to begin to put together the story of this wonderful place we call home. If you are planning on attending the Everglades trip, make sure to sign up. Use the following form: Visions of South Florida.
