Write a line of poetry or prose that seems to be a strong opening line. Be prepared to discuss why your line is a first line rather than a line that might function equally well in a different content, and to describe the poem or story you envision following your line in terms of ideas and form.
After we discuss your line, students will "bid." You must agree to give your line to the student whose suggestion, enthusiasm, or oddball approach most pleases you.
Next class , bring in a poem or a story draft beginning with your "purchased line."
