A great idea from Reading Rockets and AdLit.org:Our 2009-2010 Writing Challenge
The Exquisite Prompt
The Reading Rockets and AdLit.org Exquisite Prompt challenge is an activity that gives K-12 students a chance each month (October through June) to flex their writing muscles with writing prompts — and win fabulous prizes! The prompts are inspired by the 18 authors and illustrators participating in the Exquisite Corpse Adventure.
About Exquisite Corpse
What's an "Exquisite Corpse?" It's a kind of writing game, where one person begins a story, then passes it down through a chain of writers to continue the narrative. Writer M.T. Anderson explains it all here.
What's "The Exquisite Corpse Adventure?" It's a year-long serial adventure story that offers young readers an opportunity to get to know the hilarious side of a crew of award-winning, talented, and versatile authors and illustrators — sponsored by the Library of Congress and the National Children's Book and Literacy Alliance. Let M.T. Anderson fill you in more.
The Exquisite Corpse Adventure story begins here.
