나는 거기에 있었다…폼페이 화산 폭발 당일: 과거로의 창작 글쓰기 여행.

One day you’re living a perfectly normal life in 79 AD (CE)
Then, on the 24th of August, it all ends. The volcano, Vesuvius, erupts violently. Just after midday, ash and volcanic debris rain down on the city, burying it and nearly all of its inhabitants.
Surprisingly, Pompeii lay almost completely forgotten for centuries until archaeologists uncovered the buried remains…

What must it have been like, living in the shadow of a mountain that starts to behave strangely? When you don’t know what a volcano is or what will happen, what do you think about this odd event?
What do you do when it erupts? How do you describe the feeling?

In this class, we’ll look at how we can make notes that will help us in putting our story together before exploring the historic details surrounding Vesuvius’ famous eruption and take a look at what was uncovered a long time afterwards. As we go, we'll look at descriptive language; how we could describe feelings, senses, actions, etc.

Using what we've discovered, we'll move on to writing time and students will create a story about their character in Pompeii on eruption day. 
If students would like to share their ideas, plan or what they've written, they are welcome to do so but there is no pressure.
