Making the Mundane INSANE!

You have a list of mundane activities. Now it's time to make 'em magical, literally.

You're going to put on a skit. Here's what you do:

·         Pick a mundane activity (ex. reading the paper, watering the garden, riding the bus, etc.)

·         Add a supernatural element to that activity (ex. the words keep falling off the paper, it’s a garden full of human beings, the bus moves but doesn’t go anywhere)

·         Prepare a short dramatic skit ( no longer than 3 minutes) to act out your scenario.

·         Be able to explain the following: What does your scenario reveal about culture, human nature, life, etc.? What truth or reality are you trying to portray by using magical realism?
