Creative writing jogging – short exercises
(Code : D1-d-15)
Kontext / Contexte
Ever heard of creative writing jogging? What? Never? I agree, it is a relatively unknown sport but essential for your creativity! And creativity is a muscle that needs to be trained on a daily basis.
The principle of creative writing jogging is simple: a short, repeated workout. The students write for a maximum of 7 minutes and a few volunteers present their texts to the class. The aim is not to write stories, but short texts that meet a specific set of instructions.
Hesitant at first, the pupils become more and more confident as they go along.
