Student Opinion: What Small Things Have You Seen and Taken Note of Today?

An interesting and unusual topic for a news article, this resource from the New York Times website asks learners to take a moment and consider all the things they notice during a typical day. Based of the editorial piece "Things I Saw" which is part of their new Op-Art series and is accessible through links included in this resource, these writing prompts could facilitate some inspired discussions, journal entries or even multimedia projects. Try it out and see what your pupils are seeing.
