Nothing is going on here…

• Nobody has any ideas

• We’ve covered all of this before.

• Our town is so boring.

• Students don’t read the paper anyway.

• Yadda yadda yadda

• What has made me angry lately?• What have I been curious about?• What am I planning to buy?• What did my best friend just ask?• What am I worried about?

Why not ask yourself some questions?

And where are the sources you need?
