A bucket list is a list you make of all of the things you'd like to experience/see/taste/do/etc. before you "kick the bucket". So now it's your turn, make a bucket list with 50 things on it! Go!
For thirty minutes, write about the most embarrassing experiences you've had!
Write a story about you finding a to-do list that belongs to a famous person. 30 minutes of writing... go!
(P.S. As you've learned, quality AND quantity counts. Follow the prompt.) You wake up tomorrow morning and you're the opposite gender. Moreover, as you go about your day it seems you're the only one that notices this difference! What? You've always been a boy/girl?
Would your life change? Would your choices change? How do people treat you? Read this. Have you ever seen this man in your dreams? If so, write about it. If not, create a dream where he can play a role. 30 minutes! Go!
We're reading Farewell to Manzanar, a story told in the first-person perspective about life in Manzanar, a 1940s Japanese internment camp in California..
In order to get perspective for that, let's imagine that we're trading places with her. Instead of it being the 1940s however, it's today. Imagined scenario: a small faction of extremists from the middle east have decided to attack Americans on U.S. soil, starting a complex domino effect that leads to WWIII. The U.S. government decides that it's safer if all people of Middle Eastern descent, whether American or not, must be concentrated into camps in order to ensure their own safety and set other Americans' minds at ease. Today you get the news that you're being shipped off to a camp in Tennessee. Your entire family must be moved out of your home by Friday and you can only take what you can carry. You do not have the option of leaving the country as all travel has been limited for people of Middle Eastern descent. For this journal, you are going to write about the book and the movie. You will tell me how you liked each, what you didn't like, if you thought the movie or book was better, etc. If you'd like to focus on differences between the two, tell me why you think the director decided to make the changes that were made. Write for a full 30 minutes!
