• Fall’s coming. What does the word “school” mean to you now?

• What’s been making you mad lately? What makes you happy? Write about either, or both.

• Do some local reporting: How many people do you see in your neighborhood not wearing masks? How are the businesses in your town doing? What are the biggest changes that have come since coronavirus started? What hasn’t changed but should?

• Write about the ways people are helping their community now.

• In what ways does it feel connected to the pandemic?

• Write a song about the most challenging day you’ve had so far.

• It’s 30 years from now and a historian is interviewing you about what this period was like. How will you describe it? How will you say it changed you?
