We use prompts to stimulate memories. Think about smells from your childhood. What do you remember? Where were you? Who was with you? What happened? 

Think about a time when sound made a big impression on you. Were you outside? In a city or in a rural area? Did you hear forest sounds, birds, wind in trees, or other sounds? Was a baby crying, were children playing, did you hear music, what kind of music, did anyone dance?

Do you remember sounds in a city? Cars passing by, car horns blowing, trains pulling out, bells ringing, sirens, voices calling. Do any of these sounds remind you of a time in your life?

Write your unique story about you and the people in your life.

Glenda Beall teaches class for ICL in July

Glenda Beall will teach an online Zoom writing class for the Institute of Continuing Learning beginning Monday, July 13, 1:30 - 3:30 and ending Monday August 3rd. It will be a two hour class running for four weeks.
Fee for this class is only $10.00 with membership.

Glenda recently taught a Zoom class with four students. It was a new experience for everyone.

This is what one student said about the class:

Despite the challenges of ZOOM, my recent Creative Writing class with Glenda Beall proved valuable.
Motivation, learning new things and excellent peer review far outweighed the perceived difficulties of distance learning. Hopefully, Zoom classes won’t be the new norm, but if so, know that Glenda and the students handled the shortcomings well. Class notes were emailed and students shared work and suggestions via email and Zoom.
I couldn’t ask for a better outcome despite my technical aversions. M.C. Brooks


Title: ENTERTAIN AND ENLIGHTEN YOUR READERS WITH YOUR LIFE STORIES

Description: How do we begin to write about our lives? Can we use dialogue, stories passed down from parents, and do we have to prove they are true? In today’s world where family members often live long distances from each other, it is difficult to share the interesting lives we have lived. There seems to be no time to sit on the porch and talk about the past. But we can still share our life experiences with our children, grandchildren, and future generations by writing them now. In this class we will learn how to make our stories entertaining as well as enlightening. We will also learn by receiving feedback from our classmates.

ICL is taking registration. Visit the website here. Membership is required. Number of students is limited.
