Students will write for ten minutes in their journals. The purpose of this exercise is to get the mental juices flowing. The instructor will put several prompts on the board for the students to use if necessary. Students can describe the room, or simply how they feel. If the students have nothing to say, then all they write is "I have nothing to say." This activity is for interpersonal reflection only.
Describing Pictures
Students will be given a magazine and asked to find a picture that interests them. Students will then be asked to list 10 nouns, 3 verbs, and several adjectives describing the picture. Students will then write 5 sentences describing what is happening in the picture using those words. The picture will be cut out and saved with the sentences for a paragraph writing activity.
