for example i made a list of some significant moments in my life, and then i organized the from most memorable to least memorable.
i wrote the moment on a sheet of paper and timed myself for 5 -10 minutes and wrote a small summery and i did this for all of my moments, and at the end the moment with most information is the one that i went with.
some examples of things to write about are:
- learning to ride a bike with out training wheels
- loosing your two front teeth
- getting your first job /license
- winning your first team sport
- learning to speak another language from your great relative etc.
feel free to comment me if you have any questions or need any more help
That sounds like a very organized strategy for coming up with and testing ideas! And some good suggestions for classmates as well (though for me a few of them might be hard to remember enough about to write about). Having a lot of information is very important, but also you want to find something that feels "worth" writing about--lets you say something important somehow.
