Assignment for September 25: List of Lists

Writing Assignment for Sept. 25

Writing with Creativity Fall 2017

The List of Lists

In your journal, list 3-5 answers to each prompt. This exercise is intended to help you think about things that are important to you, so that your writing is more personal. Since these may be on the personal side, I won’t read them, just to see the pages you’ve filled completing the assignment, and we may talk about them a little in class. The idea is just to get you thinking about things that are important to you.

Things you believe with your whole heart

Things you believe that might not be true

Things you believe that people you love don’t

Names of people you admire

Things that are hard to forgive even when you want to

Things you never apologized for

Things you wish you could go back and do differently
