N5 Creative work

At the moment we are working on folios. More specifically, we are exploring the creative piece, working from a variety of prompts. We have spent some time working from a quotation, and have now moved to working from music. Next we will use images as prompts.

A number of the songs we have listened to (we have mostly worked with snippets) would benefit from more private listening. All of the songs we have accessed so far, including some of your suggestions (more on the way) are in my wittily titled YouTube playlist 'Writing Prompt Playlist'. You can find the channel in the bar to the right. Have a listen.

Whilst listening, you are listening out for thoughts, feelings, ideas, themes, characters, settings, moods, atmospheres, tones and symbols (not to mention imagery in general!) which might inspire your writing. This piece may be either poetry or prose, unlike the previous, which was to be prose.

Happy listening, everyone!
