Will give ! 45 ! think about any idioms you might use, where if you really analyzed the actual words, they wouldn’t make much sense, but the big picture means something different. write anything down that you can think of, and a brief explanation of what it means. the goal is to have you think a bit more critically about phrases that we tend to take for granted. then, over the three days, pay attention to any idioms you hear. if you hear anything that you’ve already written down, put a check mark next to it. if you hear anything new, add it to you list. at the end of those three days, use those idioms to create a short story to put into your journal. your goal will be to get as many idioms as possible into the story as you possibly can, and still have it make some sort of sense. the story itself should not be longer than 2 pages.
