Writing Conversations
This week I started a poetry unit.
We began conversations about poetry and writing that I want to return to. We just skimmed the surface, but I want to go deeper. Here are some conversation starters for my next week.
How is writing powerful?
How could writing be used for evil?
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words, can really hurt me.
What is verbal abuse?
What is written abuse?
How could writing be used for good?
How could writing be given as a gift?
How can writing heal?
Where in the process of writing do you come up with your title?
How can my writing be intentional?
What’s the deal with metaphor and simile?
How can we make our words more powerful without using the bad words like “really?”
How can I make my writing sound like my voice?
How can a lead make a reader go “wow?”
How can a final line make the reader’s brain go “click?”
