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.

Scenario One	Scenario Two	Scenario Three
You are at a big family celebration for your grandmother. They are serving dinner, and you see your LEAST favourite food. You know it’s rude to turn food away, but you have to eat it anyway. What’s going on in your head?	It’s the first day back at school. You don’t know which class you’re going to be put into, and you’re hoping that you’re going to end up with your friends. As you walk into the hall… What’s going on in your head?	There’s 30 seconds left in the game, and the ball comes flying towards you. You’re one score behind, and it’s all up to you to make this shot… What’s going on in your head?

Begin your writing here: Scenario Three  While the ball was coming towards me it felt like time had stopped. My heart was beating as fast as a Cheetah running. I also had some butterflies in my stomach and fear in mind. The ball was still moving slowly towards me.  As I gathered more courage to strike the ball in the hoop. Yet something was holding me back. Fear, fear was holding me back. Trying to keep me safe also in fear of the ball hitting my face. Anger also took over because he knew I could take it. But happiness kicked in just at the nick of time. )Bang( I caught the ball and went for the shot and scored the final goal. The End
