「社區故事採訪編輯群」於10月31日,在泮咖啡舉辦了第二場採訪編輯課程活動。活動宗旨以探討參與學員的寫作技巧及架構為主,並實際體驗如何將個人想法轉化為引人入勝的文字。開場時,吳啟豪老師強調了寫作前的準備和基本常識,除了指導學生了解寫作的基本架構及理念外,也提及到故事結構起承轉合於寫作的重要性。

"The Stories Interviewing Editors Community" held its second interviewing editing course on October 31st at PAMMA CAFFEE. The aim of this activity was to allow participants to explore the basic principles and skills of writing, and to experience how to transform their personal thoughts into compelling words. At the beginning of the program, Mr. Wu emphasized on the preparation and basic knowledge of writing, and guided the students to understand the basic structure of writing, including the elements of storytelling structure, such as the beginning, the end, the end and the end.

在這次的課程教學中,吳老師以輕鬆的遊戲方式帶入即興的接龍寫作,在規定時間內快速接龍與組員合作寫出小故事。遊戲目的在於促使學員快速思考,將自己的想法轉化為文字,同時培養寫作的靈感。吳老師以遊戲結束後組別互相評論的方式,讓學員分享彼此的閱讀心得,使學員了解每個人都能成為小作家,並請大家評論分析不同組員的寫作風格和技巧,這也是吳老師在這個課程主要想傳達給學員的理念。

In this course, Mr. Wu introduced improvised solitaire writing by playing a relaxing game, in which students were asked to write a short story in collaboration with other members of the group within a specified period of time. The aim of the game is to encourage students to think quickly and turn their ideas into words, and at the same time to cultivate the inspiration of writing. After the game, Mr. Wu used the way that the group commented on each other's work to share their reading experience, so that the students could understand that everyone can be a little writer, and asked them to comment and analyze the writing styles and skills of different members, which was also the main idea that Mr. Wu wanted to convey to the students in this course.

此次最令學員感到有趣的地方在於互相交換文章撰寫和討論的環節,大家在欣賞彼此文章的同時,也對突然冒出的詞彙語句感到疑惑和有趣,在這方面學員們除了互相給出有建設性的建議外,也各自提出需要改進的地方,例如某個事件發生的目的更需要明確具體的描述,才能使文章的上下文串聯起來,讀者在閱讀時也不會感到困惑。文章接龍遊戲不僅為每個組員提供了有價值的反饋,也讓社區學員間更有互動交流,並強化其寫作能力。

The most interesting part of the program was the exchange of writing and discussion. While appreciating each other's writing, we were also puzzled and amused by the vocabulary and phrases that popped up out of the blue. In this regard, apart from giving constructive suggestions to each other, the participants also put forward their own ideas on areas that need to be improved, e.g., the purpose of a certain event needs to be described in a specific way in order to contextualize the writing and to help the readers to understand the context. For example, the purpose of an event needs to be clearly and specifically described so that the context of the article can be connected and the reader will not be confused when reading. The article solitaire game not only provided valuable feedback for each group member, but also allowed for more interaction among the community participants and strengthened their writing skills.

透過此次活動,讓學員們意識到寫作也可以很簡單的概念,只要掌握基本的技巧和架構,即可創作出引人入勝的短文。本次課程重點,在於了解寫作的萬用架構,包括故事走向、起承轉合,以及如何用文字與讀者互動。下一次課程將請學員們用自己蒐集到的故事加以改編,並寫出一篇擁有個人特色的文章。未來的課程將繼續致力於培養學員的寫作能力,使學員能更加自信地應對各式各樣的寫作挑戰。

Through this activity, participants realized that writing can be a simple concept, and that with basic skills and structure, they can create compelling short essays. The focus of this course is to understand the universal structure of writing, including the direction of the story, the beginning, the end and the end, as well as how to use words to interact with the readers. In the next course, participants will be asked to adapt the stories they have collected and write a piece of writing with their own personal characteristics. Future courses will continue to focus on developing participants' writing skills so that they can be more confident in dealing with a wide range of writing challenges.
