DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. Have each student brainstorm a list of things that are annoying.

2. Each student should think of as many as possible. Each student should write the ideas down as soon as they come to mind. An example may be, "It bugs me when?there is no milk left for my cereal in the morning."

3. This is meant to be a lighthearted assignment; the students should try not to pick things that make them really angry.

4. After the student has completed the brainstorming task, each one should pick two of the bugs from the list and write a paragraph about each.

5. Each paragraph should start with the phrase "It bugs me when." The remainder of the paragraph should then remain on topic. A blackline master entitled, It Bugs Me When..., has been included for the final drafts.

6. The students should edit, make good copies, and submit the final paragraphs.

Sub-skills Needed:

1. Brainstorming strategies
2. Writing strategies

Materials Needed

1. Copies of the blackline master entitled, It Bugs Me When - one for each student.
