What do you write?

What do you write?

Everyday in your life, you use language. You write things all the time. Whether or not you realize it, you write all the time. It may not always be with a pen or a computer, but you still write.
Have you ever written your name on the mirror in the bathroom after you took a hot shower? Have you ever written a person a note? How about a birthday card?

Make a list of things you have written in your journal.

After you have made your list, answer this question, “Why do you write?”
