PLAYWRITING – Day 18 

Wrote for 15 minutes on “Climb Inside a Head” photo of young soldier 

Underlined the most interesting things we wrote. Eventually we narrowed them down to the best sentence. 

Discussed what made these sections interesting to us. 

Began “I’ll Never Buy” activity: wrote down 10 things we will never buy in the future… 

Next, in 2 minutes, we listed all the things that “I’ll Never Buy.” 

 

Share your list with a partner. Now pick one thing off the list and try to sell it to the person who won't buy it. List on paper some of the key selling points.
