Great job workshopping today!
Don't forget to include your workshopping with your final descriptive essay next Saturday. Staple them all together with your final on top. If you met with a tutor, be sure to include that--it counts!

Journal #3: A Place
We've done a lot with people watching, now let's switch to places. Think of a place that you are very familiar with--it could be someplace you go now, a place from childhood, a place you go when you need to get away. It can be in nature or urban. A house. A van. A place you go to in your imagination. Put yourself in that place and describe it. What's the weather like? What time of day is it? What are the sounds, smells, tastes and sights of the place? How do you feel there? Are you alone? Who else is there? What happens in this place? Feel free to make something happen there if you like. Write for 10 minutes.
Journal Prompt #4: A Concert or Musical Event
Think of a concert you've been to. It could be a rock concert, an opera, symphony, country concert, folk fest, hoe-down, wedding band, etc. Bring the scene alive: where are you, who else is there, smells, sights, sounds, etc. I want you to also spend time trying to describe the music...we're focusing on describing sounds, here. Write for 10 minutes.
