Today we began class by discussing our science fiction novels in our book groups. After this we reconvened as a full class for some science fiction writing. The journal writing for today was focused on the idea of setting as a story starter, and how important setting is in science fiction. We used images portraying various science fiction settings to prompt our writing, writing brief paragraphs of description about each one and sharing them in class.
If you want to continue to work on this, the images from the slide show are available by clicking on the links below. I've added some new landscapes for inspiration as well! Enjoy!
