Dear John...
The letter.
Show the class a sealed envelope. Ask them to imagine what correspondence is inside. They have five minutes in a group to come up with the best idea(s)
Groups talk about their ideas then pass their idea clockwise on to another group and the receivers have to turn this letter into a short piece of drama.
The drama must start or finish with the writing of the letter and it being sealed in the envelope.
Good for poetry assignments.
Other prompts can be parcels, wrapped picture frames, returned
Birthday or Christmas presents and clothes.
