Category:  Finding a Story

Materials:  Something to write with/on.

Assignment:  Brainstorm some possible story ideas by responding to the items below.

 1—Who has a job/profession/skill you have always been interested in, but know little about? 

 2—What school topic, or local/national issue are teens talking about, upset about, or curious about?

3—Is there somebody you know who has a skill, a collection, a hobby that might surprise others?

4—Where would you like to go “behind-the-scenes” to learn more?

5—Consider a family member who has a great story to tell.  Would others appreciate hearing it?  Sometimes, there are stories so close we can’t see them.
