Don't Lift the Pen!

In this class, students will combine journaling and mindfulness (as well some some probable silliness!) as I set a timer for varying lengths of time and they practice writing down their stream of thoughts. The challenge? Don't lift the pen from the paper - keep writing even when you think you don't have anything to write about! I will begin by explaining the concept and giving examples, then students will actively write for the given block of time, which will vary between 2-5 minute intervals. At the end of the writing session, students will be encouraged (but not required) to share their writing aloud. If necessary, we will use breakout rooms to ensure students are able to share their work. Students should be able to confidently spell words on their own without asking for assistance during the exercise.
