Do Now: Study the picture. What do you think is happening? Where or when is it taking place? Suppose you were asked to write an essay about joy or exuberance. Do you see some usable ideas in your free-writing? Discuss these ideas with your partner. Write whatever comes to mind about the scene depicted here. You might write about times when you’ve felt the same emotions you think the soldier is expressing or times when you’ve seen people express strong emotions in a public place. Try to write nonstop for at least five minutes. Don’t evaluate your writing; just record your thoughts.
