Writing Prompt: Help Me Focus!
Directions: Write a one-to two-page dialogue between yourself and a school
counselor. Imagine you have approached your counselor hoping to get help with one
or two focus issues that you feel have started to affect your academic performance.
Start by describing the issue(s) you are having, and then write the words you imagine
the counselor would say (or the questions they would ask) to help you find solutions.
You can use the scenarios in the article for inspiration, but do your best to be original,
perhaps by writing about a recent focus issue you had in real life.
