Write a first-person account of a day in the life of someone very different from yourself.
This could be anyone from a sibling or parent to a character in a book or a person you see on the bus every day. By putting yourself in their shoes and writing from their perspective, you’ll be pushed to understand their thoughts, feelings, motivations and struggles, thereby nurturing empathy. This prompt encourages students to see the world through different lenses and learn to accept and appreciate diversity.
