Driving Question: How can we use writing to express ourselves for a public
audience?
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to identify the main reasons they write and
the main themes they find most compelling. They will be able to
explain how these themes might be explored through creative
writing.
“Engage”
“Entry Event” Activity
Why I Write Watch this video.
List two reasons you think people write and one reason you
write. Post your response to the Jamboard.
“Explore”
Learn
Read your classmates’ responses on the Jamboard. In your
small groups, discuss: which responses resonate with you?
Which responses are harder to relate to?
“Explain” to Others
Choose two members of your group (one for each of your
themes). Those group members will briefly explain why you
chose each theme during whole class discussion.
All your chosen themes have been added to a poll. Think about
why you write and how your classmates justified their themes
during discussion. Choose the theme you, personally, would be
most interested in exploring through creative writing.
Elaborate
There is a breakout room for each of the top five themes;
please join the room for the theme you would most like to
write about. There should be about six students per theme.
For your exit ticket: think about the writing you’ve done in the
past, for this course, for other courses, or on your own. Have
you ever explored your group’s theme through creative
writing? Can you think of any past pieces you might want to
include in the chapbook? If so, briefly explain what the piece
is and why you want to use it. If not, briefly explain what kind
of piece you might write for this chapbook and why.
