For the purpose of this course Story Ideas that students create are known as Crew Papers; Writing Exercises either created or gotten from another cited source are called Boarding Passes.
General IdeasLillian Scott: Flat Armadillo. Write a southern tall tail centered around the creature. Jack Rabbit Attack!
Eric Jensen: I saw in the newspaper a couple of years ago or so, An old woman wakes up to find a burglar in her home. Instead of panicking, she pretends to be senile, and calls the young man grandson, making him breakfast. As he smugly eats, she calls the police.
Alexa Di Sallio: A man /woman who gets captured by a giant who likes to craft intricate boxes and spheres. The giant uses the captive as a sort of mouse in a maze and challenges the man to get out of his detailed "cages." During these tests and creations, the captive and the giant have psychological and theoretical discussions (both are very genius like in thought). Throughout the story, the two learn a lot from one another and the giant finally frees captive once he/she cannot escape from the giants greatest invention.
