Rites of passage/formative experiences
The students in my class are about to write some Reflective essays. The key is to concentrate on being mature and thoughtful about experiences that shaped them as people. But they're so young - loads of them have no fucking formative experiences. And I really don't want to read about 30 dead grannies.
What are the experiences that shaped the person you are today? Need to try and inspire them with lots of suggestions.
