What Does Freedom Mean to You? (Writing Prompt)

Here is a writing prompt on the topic of freedom.

This is an “idea-generating” activity.

First – students are expected to “stretch” their ideas by writing 250 words or more in response to a simple, yet philosophically dense question: What does freedom mean to you?

After “stretching” their ideas, students are expected to “condense” their thinking by writing a 20-word summary.

This is where students must sift through their thinking to find the essential ideas of their writing.

This process of expansion and contraction of ideas has worked well for me.

I hope it helps!
