Writing 1

Writing 2

  • Think about something you were sad to have lost, but now you are grateful it is gone.
  • Have you ever been burned? (By the sun or a flame or a person.) Write about it.
  • If you could have any superpower, what would it be? How would you use it?

Writing 3

  • Respond to this quote by George Bernard Shaw: “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”
  • Are you intensely passionate about something? Is there something you could talk about for hours? Bring us into that world.
  • Do you think it would be valuable for others to experience homelessness? Why or why not? Do you have anyone in mind that it would especially benefit?
