Share at least 3 of your ideas connected to the objects we passed around in a COMMENT on this post. You could share what the object reminded you of in your own life or your story idea or both. Skim over the ideas of your classmates and if you like one of theirs, jot it down in your journal to turn into something of your own.
Your comment should be rather lengthy--at least 3 complex, solid sentences.
Then choose at least 1 of your ideas to expand on in a full page in your journal.
If you have some time, browse the website Significant Objects for examples of writing connected to objects--you might even find an object there that triggers some writing for you.
Browse the photos in Where Children Sleep and see if there's an object there that might spark an idea.
You could also check out Smithsonian's 101 Objects that Made America or their exhibit about the History of Shoes.
