1-MINUTE PROMPT:
People often talk about how rain makes them feel on the inside, but what about the outside? Describe the physical sensations you feel when your skin, hair, and clothes go from dry to wet while standing outside in the rain.
5-MINUTE PROMPT:
What does it mean to be soaked to the bone? Remember the thoughts and feelings that arose during a time you got drenched while being out in the rain.
10-MINUTE PROMPT:
Rain storms are sensory experiences. Recall how getting caught in the rain once affected all of your senses. What did you see, touch, smell, hear, and taste during that experience? Write a poem about it where each line or stanza begins with a different sense (e.g., “I saw . . . ,” “I touched . . . ,” “I smelled . . . ,” and so on).
20-MINUTE PROMPT:
Write the short story of what happened before, during, and after you got caught in the pouring rain once upon a time. Where were you coming from? Where did you end up? How did the rain affect your plans?
