1-MINUTE PROMPT:
Aisle, isle, and I’ll are three words that sound alike but have very different meanings. Use all three of them in a micropoem meant to be read aloud at an open mic poetry slam.
5-MINUTE PROMPT:
The word right has several different meanings and sounds exactly like the words rite and write. Craft a robust paragraph that uses all three of these same-sounding words, along with two different meanings for the word right.
10-MINUTE PROMPT:
Your main character is a wordsmith who’s often misunderstood by others. Write the conversation between your protagonist and another person who’s confused by the wordsmith’s use of the same-sounding words rays, raise, and raze.
20-MINUTE PROMPT:
Prays, praise, and preys couldn’t have more dissimilar meanings from one another, despite the fact that they sound exactly alike. Use all three words in a short horror story that takes place in a sleepy town more than a hundred years ago. Who is praying, and who is preying? Who or what is being praised?
