Today you will choose at least one idea and create an event sequence. There are many ways to do this, here is the first of four strategies we will practice:
- Use an idea web. Write your topic in the center then web the events around the topic. Number the events in the order you'd like to tell the story.
Here is my idea list from yesterday. I am going to practice the strategies above using one idea.
- Finishing my first half marathon
- Raising my first litter of puppies
- My trip to Yellowstone National Park
- My trip to the Pacific Ocean
- The year I was bullied in school
- Writing my first book
- Planning my daughters wedding
- The last christmas with my grandma
- Moving to Grand Forks
- Teaching my son in 2nd grade
- The year my husband was deployed
- Surviving a car accident
- Memories of my 5th grade year
- etc...
Here is my idea web. I used google draw (click on drive, create, draw) but you can easily do this on a piece of paper. What you use to draw the web is not important. Write your ideas based on your theme or topic and then number them to start a sequence.
Play around with your ideas and see what happens. What are your thoughts about this?
