All Assignment Prompts
Through a series of teacher-led, generative, timed, in-class writing prompts, students will be guided toward the creation of a short narrative that reflects on losses and insights they’ve experienced during the pandemic by (1) considering the time before “now,” (2) the time when disruption was experienced most intensely, and (3) what is experienced differently in the indefinite and ever-morphing “new now.”

All Assignment Prompts
To illuminate our personal experiences during this time of sheltering-in, we will continue our investigation of sonnets as performance texts by writing and acting in our own creations. Held by the structure of the verse, we will create and perform sonnets that communicate our thoughts and feelings about life, loss, survival, resilience, and love during these unprecedented times. We will continue to lend our voices to the verse with specific concentration on embodiment, clarity, personal connection, and the merging of the emotional and intellectual through-line. This collaborative assignment has two parts: a creative writing component, and a skilled performance component.
