Publisher's Synopsis
These prompts, journal topics and discussion topics were accumulated during fourteen years as a classroom teacher of English & ESL. I occasionally used them as full day discussion topics where the students had the opportunity to practice "critical thinking," writing, presenting and discussion. It allowed the students to vent while developing the hardest of the language acquisition skills "writing."
