Challenge I-Search Group Brainstorm

Instructions for I-Search Group Brainstorm


Each group should complete the worksheet below. In order to do the best possible job on your I-Search, you have to entertain a wide range of topic and writing possibilities—even possibilities that at first seem unlikely you'll pursue. The goal of these brainstorming activities is to help you stretch your mind, and to allow the spark of creativity to come to you in the magical exchanges of people talking to each other. Share your ideas, and open yourself to the unexpected visitations of inspiration.

Once your group has met and recorded possibilities, you need to schedule an appointment with your instructor to explain what you have completed here.
