The aims of this Short Writing Assignment are (1) to take stock of your writing and (2) to find an idea to develop further, in a longer essay.
Read through your Short Writing Assignments, midtermessays, and other writings–everything you’ve written for this course so far (or as much as you can!). Pull out a few passages, phrases, or keywords that spark your interest. The aim here is to locate ideas that you actually want to think about more. Your mental energy and effort wants to go in that direction and you do not have to force it.
Then choose one of these passages, phrases, or keywords and insert it into a new document or page in your notebook. Set a timer for 10 minutes and write what comes to mind about this particular passage, phrase, or keyword, without editing yourself or judging what comes out.
