I’m Grateful for . . .

In the U.S., we’ll celebrate Thanksgiving on November 28. In honor of the holiday, use the following writing prompt to focus your thoughts on the things for which you are thankful.

List three things you are thankful for this year and write about why you’re thankful for each one.

The Influence

Who has had the biggest influence on your life? It can be anyone, living or dead. Write a letter to that person and talk about the impact he or she had on your life. If that person is still alive, consider giving him or her the letter after you’ve finished it.
