Writing Journals are now called Risk Pads. Why? I want to encourage you to take risks. Not physical risks (base jumping) or health risks (drugs). I'm talking about personal risks, emotional risks. Don't risk injury. Risk embarrassment, failure, comfort. Write something real. Challenge yourself. Step outside your comfort zone. My risks won't be the same as your risks.
In your risk pad, pages 78-80 will be devoted to risks. I want you to take a risk and write a page about it. What did you do? Why was it a risk for you? What did you get out of it?
In class you will share one of your risks. You'll get up in front of the class and read your page.
