Presented for Omiya JALT's Spring My-Share, March 14 2010.
Matt Shannon’s presentation will focus on deploying effective creative writing assignments in late junior and early senior public high school classes does not appear to have any foundation in MEXT curricula; this session will address some steps taken to allow creative student responses while staying within the scope of existing compositional and argumentative forms for this age group.
This was the public unveiling of the One Day One Story format, which asks students to combine composition with three to five pictures taken over the course of a single day. As viewers are naturally drawn to their own conclusions about what the pictures are saying, we find a compelling reason to scour the text as we seek to confirm or deny or own expectations.
