A Week of Prompts
Earth Day Prompts
April 22 is Earth Day. It is a world wide event involving all age groups and socioeconomic backgrounds. Originally a political day for supporting policy changes to improve the environment it has become a day often forgotten except by organized groups. Visit the links for three great sites explaining the importance of Earth Day (Earth Day Canada, Earth Day US — Environment Protection Agency, The Arbor Day Foundation) and what you can do to celebrate it and improve our environment on a daily basis.
Here are seven prompts to capture your views of Earth Day:
Day One: What does Earth Day mean to you?
Day Two: How important are trees to you personally?
Day Three: Describe what you do to make our planet a better place to live.
Day Four: Describe the last time you littered.
Day Five: Think of ways to spread the importance of taking care of our planet to at least one other person.
Day Six: Contemplate the life of a tree.
Day Seven: Use these words to journal about Earth Day: cans, tree, oil, water, duck, community, recycling, truck, life, grandchildren.
Responses are not meant to be one sentence answers, elaborate on your answers. Meditate, reflect and enjoy. You can find more writing prompts at The Write Prompts blog.
