Writing!! March 3, 2023

Directions: To end the week with a bang, here are some writing prompts for you to work on in your reflection journals. If you do not have a black/white marbled composition book, you may use your regular notebook for today.

You can copy any or all of the quotations below exactly as shown (with quotation marks surrounding the words) on the left page of your notebook, and use the right page of your notebook to write how you feel, what connection you may have to this quotation, or if you agree or disagree with the sentiment.

Each reflection should be no less than one paragraph in length and filled with with solid sentences. You may use first person point of view in this case, since it is like a journal entry! Remember to vary the length of your sentences and to read your writing out loud when you have finished.

Enjoy!
