INSIDE OUT
WRITING TASK
The film Inside Out takes us inside the mind of a young girl named Riley as she moves from childhood into her teenage years.
In the film we take a look inside Riley’s brain and discover she is actually being controlled by her Emotions,
Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger, and Fear. In-fact, those same Emotions are controlling the minds of her father, and her mother too. They must be inside all of us!
They’re silly, dramatic, and can’t help but act like themselves. For better or worse!
Your task today is to write a short story.
You will be writing from the point-of-view of the Emotions.
Below are 3 different scenarios - you’re going to choose ONE and begin your writing.
