Prompt #55"},"content":{"rendered":"

This is a two-part prompt.<\/p>\n

Part 1:<\/strong>\u00a0 Get a photo of yourself.\u00a0 We’ll wait.<\/p>\n

Toe tapping . . . humming.\u00a0 Photo in hand?\u00a0 If not . . . close your eyes for a moment and picture a photo of yourself.<\/p>\n

Write,\u00a0 starting with:\u00a0 “In this photo . . . ”<\/p>\n

Go! Now! Write before reading Part II.<\/p>\n

Wait. . . did you write on the prompt?<\/p>\n

If yes . . . proceed to the next part.\u00a0 If not, take 10 or 15 minutes to write, “In this photo . . . ”<\/p>\n

We’ll wait for you to catch up.\u00a0 Maybe we’ll hum a little tune. . . la. . . de. . . dum. . .<\/p>\n

Ready?<\/p>\n

Part II:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Add three sentences after every sentence you have just written.\u00a0 Start first additional sentence with “I felt” and then add two sentences after that.<\/p>\n

Example of adding three sentences to what you have already written.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Original Sentences:<\/strong>\u00a0 In this photo, I’m opening a present. I’m four years old. It’s Christmas.<\/p>\n

Original sentence #1 plus three sentences:<\/strong>\u00a0 In this photo, I’m opening a present. I felt <\/strong>happy. I loved being surrounded by my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. I’m excited to open this present.<\/p>\n

Original sentence #2 plus three sentences:<\/strong>\u00a0 I’m four years old. I felt<\/strong> happy.\u00a0 I am older than my sister. I liked playing with her.<\/p>\n

Original sentence #3 plus three sentences:<\/strong>\u00a0 It’s Christmas. I felt<\/strong> content. I liked being in Nana’s living room. She made the nightgown and robe that I’m wearing in the photo.<\/p>\n

This is one way to go deeper in your writing.<\/strong><\/p>\n
