Brightstorm - Session 6 - First Impressions

The Brightstorm session introduces two characters, Welby and Harriet Culpepper, and prompts participants to share their initial reactions to these individuals. This exercise serves as an opportunity to explore character development and encourages reflection on how authors craft characters to elicit specific responses from the audience. Participants are asked to consider their first impressions, jotting down thoughts that may include observations about the characters' personalities, behaviors, or any other notable traits that stand out upon their introduction.

This activity, likely part of a larger series of sessions, provides a space for readers to engage with the text on a deeper level. By focusing on first impressions, the session underscores the importance of early character portrayal and its impact on the reader's engagement with the story. As participants fill in their names and the date, they prepare to delve into the world of Welby and Harriet Culpepper, examining how the initial presentation of these characters shapes their understanding and expectations for the narrative journey ahead.
