Writers Club Dillemma!
Mmhm, I intentionally misspelled "dilemma". Yummy dills.
All right, so school will be starting back up again next Monday, and I'm going to be the writing club's president. Quite excited, except for the fact that I'm on a shortage of ideas. Neither the English teacher nor the last president mentioned anything about a curriculum, so it's up to to the president to come up with activities, stuff like that. I've looked around for a few, but I'm still a little nervous. Any ideas? Any help appreciated.

Pass out old photographs and do something with those; listen to a song and write about it; watch a short film and write about it; read a poem, essay or story and write about it; write about a memory that you think you might've made up...the possibilities are endless. I'm sure you can find tons of prompts by just Googling it. Or just use that handy brain of yours.
Oh, and "dilemma" has two m's.  I do like dill pickles, though. Yummy. Pickles.

Those are great. Thank you so very much. ^-^

Devise a project which involves everyone and has a set target; a school magazine/newspaper, for example, or an anthology which you can publish via Lulu or suchlike to make it look professional.

Every year the club publishes a collection of a bunch of stuff that members did throughout the year, so we will be doing that; it's more the fact that I'm not sure -what- the collection will be.

why not let the members decide?... a pres doesn't have to be a dictator, can just be a kindly 'parental' figure, helping where needed and giving support... and the 'kids' can chart their own course by majority vote...

That's a good thought.
Last year we had some trouble with activity, and the majority of the members were graduating seniors; so I'm a little worried about that, so I'll keep the prompts and ideas for if the remaining members are either too little in number to be very active, or just... not very active. Heh. =P Thanks.
