Writing Prompts

Students will write in their journals based on a prompt questions during the unit. Answers will be shared with a student, with a class (if they so choose), and the teacher will also collect journals at the end of the week to read as well.

__Week 1__ Day 1: Why do we hold back from saying what we think? Have you ever wanted to say something but didn’t out of fear? How does holding things in rather than speaking up isolate you from people?

Day 2: Why is Mr. Duffy offering weekly meetings? Do you think we should offer these meetings at our high school?

Day 3 Have you ever been labeled or called a name? How did it make you feel about yourself?

Day 5

After reading the poem, answer the following questions:

What are your thoughts and feelings about this poem? What does solitude mean? What do you make of the poem overall? What might be another way to look at this poem? What are your thoughts when I say ‘society’?

__Week 2__ Day 2 What is your ambition for after high school?
