QuickWrite of the Day #35: Letter to an object
"Writing can be used as a vehicle to express ourselves as we negotiate the journey through our lives” (Gallagher, 2011: p. 24)
Today’s QuickWrite of the Day:
Think about an object that is important to you. It could be something that reminds you of a family member, a happy memory, sport, a book you love or hate— anything!
Write a letter to this object expressing the role it has played in your life. You might want to make a list first about important memories with the object, the people it reminds you of, what it makes you think about or how it makes you feel.
Look at the beginning of Kobe Bryant’s ‘Dear Basketball’ letter-poem below to see an example of something like this. To see a video of the whole letter-poem, click here.
