Creativity in Teaching
From CEP 818: Creativity in Teaching and Learning
I selected to make a text message conversation that explores an exchange between the main character and his wife in 2BRO2B by Kurt Vonnegut. The site I used was, https://ifaketextmessage.com/ This forced me to think like the characters and explore what they might have said to each other during the story.
By doing this activity, I had to feel what the characters were feeling and figure out what they would say in this situation. It actually gave me more insight into the characters than just reading the story. Because the length of space is limited, it forced me to be succinct in my words. This would be a good way to have students explore character development in a story and to gain a deeper understanding of what motivates the actions of the characters. |
