It's a metephor activity.
Ok, please excuse my lack of literary vocabulary but:
Make a list of a bunch of regular words, like ocean, shelter, tree etc.
Then make a list of uh, adjectives/adverbs I think? Like, realization, appreciation, vibrance, innocence etc.
Then you add "a___ of____" and fill in the blank with a word from each list. You'ld be suprised how many powerful images you get. Ex:
A shelter of innocence
An ocean of vibrance
Then you can go back and put a sentence or two around them. If you particularly like one or two, put more sentences around it, and form a story around the metephor.
It helped my case of writers block recently, and it just sort of gets you thinking.
Enjoy!
