Week 3-2

How do we tell the story of a breakup?

Telling the Story of a Breakup

Work in groups of 3-4 to tell the story of a breakup.

Imagine a couple is together for several years, grows apart, and eventually decides to break up. As a group, your job is to decide how to tell that story in a way that will make both parties seem empathetic. We should feel for both parties, although not necessarily equally.

How do you do it? What genre might you use? (Poetry? Music? Short story? Letters? Reality TV show?) How would you make sure each party’s voice is heard? How would you organize the story? Make your thing!

Next time, we'll be sharing these with the class.
