Unjournaling: Daily Writing Exercises That Are NOT Introspective, NOT Personal, NOT Boring

by Dawn Diprince

Unjournaling: Daily Writing Exercises That Are NOT Introspective, NOT Personal, NOT Boring Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The more than 200 impersonal but engaging writing prompts in this exercise book help students practice their writing skills without asking them to share personal thoughts they would rather keep to themselves. Quirky, challenging, and humorous, the ideas encourage lighthearted creativity with such topics as writing about a girl named Dot without using any letters with dots (such as "i" or "j)", describing a person named Chris by the reactions of others as he walks into a room, or creating three completely different sentences with the word "crumpled. "Sample responses are included for all the exercises, making this an ideal classroom resource.
