Personal Story Project

Hello all,
I wanted to let you know about an opportunity for you to share some of your experiences over the past month. If you get published it is something you can put on your resume! It's also great way to develop your writing skills and process these changes. This is not for class but is an extra way to direct all your pent up thoughts into story-telling.

Teen health and wellness has put out a Personal Story Project 
This is from their website:

Sharing stories is a powerful way to connect with other people. By sharing their own personal stories, teens can connect with others who are dealing with the same challenges that they are. If a story is accepted for publication, it will be published online in Teen Health & Wellness. All published authors will also receive a certificate of achievement from Rosen Publishing and a monetary gift.
What would you like to tell other teens who are dealing with the same fears, challenges, and concerns about COVID-19? Write from your personal experiences. Here are some ideas to get you started:


  • What is helping you cope with the COVID-19 outbreak?
  • How have things changed for you, your friends, and your family?
  • How do you and your friends stay in touch?
  • How are you helping to support others in your school or local community?

Writing Wednesday

Image
Todays writing challenge is to write from the perspective of an inanimate object.  Listen to an episode of the Everything Is Alive Podcast. In it, the host interviews someone who improvises their responses as if they are the object.  Choose a specific object from your house, think about where it's been, what it's used for and how it might see the world. Be descriptive in it's experiences. Your writing can be a story from the object's perspective, or it can be a conversation with the object.  Find lots of good episodes here:  Everything Is Alive Podcast  or on  spotify Writing Wednesday is an optional activity. I would be more than happy to take a look at your work if you share it with me. Here is a silly video the podcast reminded me of:
