QuickWrite of the Day #30: Texts from Katniss Everdeen

"Writing can be used as a vehicle to express ourselves as we negotiate the journey through our lives” (Gallagher, 2011: p. 24)

Today’s QuickWrite of the Day:

In the book Texts from Jane Eyre, famous book characters from Katniss Everdeen to Harry Potter are brought to life as the author imagines what these characters would say if they could text. Check out the Texts from Jane Eyre  example of communication between The Hunger Games characters below:

With this in mind, choose a favourite book or movie character and think about who they would be texting right now. What would they be saying? Would they be laughing, teasing someone or expressing frustration? What situations could you have them texting about? 

Have a go at drawing/writing your character’s text conversations and see where the silliness takes you!
