So my students are working on ad analysis papers, and in a moment of goddamn-I-wish-I-was-teaching-creative-writing-not-composition inspiration, I put them into groups and made them write collaborative short stories about their advertisements. What resulted were alcohol-soaked fantasy stories involving women named Nippie, Trixie Trix, and Suzy Q, which the guys found incredibly funny. It all resulted in me making public service announcements about responsible alcohol use and responsible female character naming. (i.e, the women in the class were none too impressed with "Nippie," for obvious reasons.)
