Tools For Understanding

December 3, 2018 By Nancy Casey

Fold a sheet of paper in half 3 times so that it is divided into 8 rectangles or boxes.  Write these headings in the boxes:

Touch – Taste – Smell – See – Hear – Ideas – Others – Questions

These are tools that we use to perceive and understand the world.

  • For each of the senses, record some of your perceptions using those senses.
  • Under “Ideas” write some thoughts that you have had.
  • In the box marked “Others” write down some things you have come to understand from others or from the outside world.
  • Under “Questions” write down a few questions you don’t know the answer to.

When you have finished, give your work a title, and write the date on it as well.

Here is a more detailed version of these instructions.

Writing classes and workshops

In-person Write-For-You workshops at the Latah Recovery Center have been suspended for a bit, but you can still do the writing prompts on your own. For more information, about the Write for You program, or if you are in recovery and interested in writing coaching, contact Nancy.
