Writing storms

The idea of this exercise is to get students to quickly write about a topic they choose (or you assign). These short presentations are then used in two manners; to generate spontaneous conversations on a wide range of topics, and to take a look at some common writing problems.

You will have exactly five minutes (reduce or extend the writing time as you feel is appropriate) to write about a subject on the list below. Just write what you can write in 5 minutes!!

Don't worry about your writing style, but, rather, you should focus on quickly writing down their feelings about the topic you have chosen.
