Journal Prompt

Friends

Who are your friends? What are their qualities? Who do you allow into your life? Who have you drifted away from? Why? Examine your friendships. Note if you have recurring experiences with people, too. Do you attract a certain kind of person to you? Are these positive or negative interactions? Do you need to break a negative cycle?

[Writing About the Visual]

Use visual prompts such as items or pictures. Nearly any item would work but the more unusual the better. Urge students to ponder what it might be used for, what era it might be from, etc...

Pictures can come from magazines, newspapers, old calendars, or your photo

collection, just to name a few. Use one picture for the entire class, or give each student his/her own.
