There are a few online “fortune cookie generators” (like this one: http://www.myfortunecookie.co.uk) that can actually act as good writing prompts/jumping-off points. Like horoscopes, fortune cookie messages are normally purposefully vague so they can be open for interpretation, whether the fortune is more like a prediction or just a proverb. Use a random fortune cookie generator to write a short narrative. This narrative can be related to the spy theme or not. For example, “Financial prosperity is coming your way!” or “The time is right to make new friends” can be used together or separately to make for an interesting narrative. E.g., as a spy, you might need to cozy up to a rich new friend and come into some money yourself as a way to break into a secret society. Be creative!
Using the concepts of typography and silhouetted images, create a set of two visuals using only letters of the alphabet in different letter sizes and colors. In cryptology, ciphers like “asdfghjk” can be decoded as messages like “password”. Therefore, create two dual visuals of the same image – one with the cipher gibberish, and one with a decoded message! This can be done either as a digital image collage or using newspapers/other resources to form the visual photos. Additional improvisation is welcomed – underlay a photo under your cipher typographic images, etcetera!
Find a picture of any secret agent you would like, preferrably a fairly well-known one. Next, pick a quote from a similar secret agent character. Finally, attribute said quote to a third similar character. You want the characters you chose to be well-known but also similar enough that people would confuse them with one another.
Create a short video that, 1) shows us who you are, 2) shows us your past experiences
This can be texts, pictures and possibly other videos that will be put together using all of your current social media accounts.
You will choose what to put in and what to leave out, and this doesnt have to be a long video, only 2-3 minutes
In this assignment the goal is to keep a journal of sorts of your life as a spy. Part storyelling and part roleplaying your job is to put yourself into the shoes of a spy character that you create and write about your life and actions as said characater. The purpose of the assignemnet is to come up with the most interesting and convincing story about your life and experinces of being a spy.
So you have created your character for the class now it is time to tell the story of what other your characters influenced yours. Explain other characters in the genre who potentially influenced your character and how you built off those characters. (In look, personality, type of character, name, etc.) Conversely feel free to expand on any characters that bother you and why your character will be nothing like that. Your explanation can include other media clips or novel quotes to familiarize people with the media that influenced your character.
Write an Diary entry from any of your favorite spy daily perspective of his or her life. What kind of trouble did 007 get into and how would he describe his adventure? How did Nancy Drew crack the mystery and How did she feel at that moment? You decide the story whether you stick with the original plot or come up with a new one.
This assignment helps take your writing skills to a new level. Pick any secret agent and create an alternate story line for that character. You could take an agent like James Bond and give him a whole new background of give him a new mission to complete. You could even take two secret agent characters who normally don’t go together and make them cross paths while they are doing their missions. It is up to you where this assignment takes you as long as the story line doesn’t already exist.
