Free-write: first thoughts (10 minutes)
Exploratory Writing: After you have read Orwell’s essay, and completed the annotating and free writing, put the essay aside as I don’t want you to write about Orwell’s piece. What I am interested here are your thoughts about the nature of shame.
Please write a 1.5-2 page piece of writing where you address the concept of shame. Below are a few questions to help start your thinking. One way to approach this writing is to pick one of the questions below on which to focus your writing. By focusing only on one question, you might answer others.
What is shame?
What does it look like?
Why do people feel ashamed?
When do they feel ashamed
In your writing, no matter which question you choose, remember to be as specific as possible.
