ARGame: "Addicted"

This is an alternate reality game that can encourage creative writing (though it may be a lot of work for the teacher).  The idea is to provide journal prompts such as
  • "I heard you met Pablo and Sara last night.  The last time I saw them they were dealing drugs downtown."
  • "I heard from someone that you disappeared last night.  Where did you go?"
  • "You look a little pale.  How are you feeling?"
  • "As your teacher and your friend, I really think you need to get help."
The idea is to have them write as though to all outward appearances they're good college students, but secretly they're addicted to drugs.  The idea is that you answer the journals every day or every couple of days and have them write back, just a few lines.  They should be encouraged to read up on the effects of the drug they're "addicted to" to make the story as believable as possible.  Eventually you have the students put the journals together into a coherent discourse and let everyone else read them.
