Fighting Words

So last week , my class  got to go to a creative writing talk in "Fighting Words" Dublin.
Isabelle and Catriona had to go up in front of us all and say anything that came to their heads , about Isabelle's little brother!
As they talked a man typed everything and then we made it into a story. We wrote an opening passage and they printed it off for us and we had to try finish it. Al tough not many people would read theirs out, everyone did a good job, and it was a nice trip away from school :)
On Tuesday we went up to Mullingar to preform our very own drama, for an audience that included most of Fodla ( the other TY class) and our English teachers. It was SO much fun . We really experienced how it is to be conducting our own drama and calling all the shots, and now we are all awaiting the results for who got into the next competition!
We were given the power of stage , lighting ,and sound all to ourselves, so it really was down to us. The only thing we found hard to keep up with during our performance , was talking loud enough to fill all the audience, as we had no microphones!! Trying to act said , while screaming ,really didn't show the emotion we were hoping for but we tried our best to get a good mix.
Im not to sure who , if any , got in from our school , but i think we all did really super :) We had alot of tear-jerking moments! So best of luck TYs, we all tried our best :)
