Writing Workshop - 5/30 - Journalism Classroom - Tuesday Morning

Chloe was grinning as everyone came into the classroom, looking as though she'd had a very good weekend.

"Hey everyone! Welcome back. I'm glad to see you all survived the first week, and decided to come back." She may have given Cameron and Janet a special smile there. "So, last week we talked about writing biographies. This week, we're going to be flipping a bit and talking about obituaries. Sadly, everyone has to die someday - at least, they do where I come from."

"What I want you to do today is write an obituary, either for yourself, or for someone else." Chloe smirked. "Feel free to write about someone who you wish was dead, because I certainly won't hold that against you."

Under the last comment so it collapses, please.

A silent classroom is a scary classroom.

If you want to actually write something.

La la la!

All done!

Cameron signs in.

Kawalsky signed in.

Marie signed in.

Marie sat at her desk, apparently in deep thought. She couldn't imagine writing about someone she knew that was still alive. It seemed like bad karma or something. And there was no one she wanted dead.

She tapped her pen on her tablet and pondered.

Cameron frowned at the assignment, any and all ideas of writing about anyone else just didn't sit well so he picked up a pen and started writing his own.

Alanna signs in.

Alanna sat starring blankly at a page. "Um, what if it's considered extremelly bad taste and bad luck to write about someone who's alive as if they're dead?"

After a while, Marie finally leaned over and whispered to Cam. "Who are you writing about? I can't think of anyone that doesn't seem weird."

"Myself. It's probably easiest," Cameron replied and pondered if he should do a detailed description.

Marie considered that. It wasn't a bad idea. "I might have to steal that idea," she said.

"Sure," he said. "Or maybe on an inanimate object. I might have to do one about the Meerkat cabin."

"Oh, we had a dog that died a few years ago of old age," Marie said. "I guess I could write about him."

"Might be an idea," Cameron nodded and looked at her. "As long as it doesn't make you too sad."

"Hmm. I hadn't considered that, I'm sorry," Chloe said seriously. "You can write about someone who's already died, if you want. That's totally fine."

Marie smiled. "Nah, the dog never liked me. He was already old when I was a toddler and I used to chase him around and pull his tail and stuff," she explained.

Alanna shrugged and began working on an obituary for her father. She got stuck on trying to figure out anything he actually did.

"Poor dog," Cameron sympathised, still sounding rather amused.

Marie tried to glare at him, but ended up laughing.

"So what have you been up to? I haven't seen you since Saturday."

"Nothing much. I decided to keep a low profile and avoid pranks for a while," he told her as he jotted down the first line of his obituary;

Cameron Mitchell, mighty Stickbug brother, was killed in action in a dogfight over the planes of Antarctica in service of the U.S. Air Force.

"Have you managed to get into a cabin war yet?"

"No, my cabin is pretty low key," Marie said. "What are you all gonna do when we move back to the dorms?"
