Can anyone give some examples of what type of stimulus quotes or otherwise we could be given for creative writing??
Although that's a pretty obvious way to do it. Subtlety is key here. It's only a stimulus, not the entire foundation of your story.If you get a photo or an image, the best thing I would suggest is to fit it into your story as an actual photo that the character sees, and talk about his/her response to it.
We just had our trials - the stimulus was to choose one of three images for a setting (between a cottage, a school and a train) and also one of three objects as the main ocus of the piece of writing (between a kite, some books and a computer). Not very fun. 8(
However, in the Excel Area of Study Guide, the example stimulus quotes are:
"Her smile was a welcoming beacon and I was no longer alone."
"This was home."
"The wall was not only a physical barrier. It was psychological too."
Hope that helps! 8)
