Writing
ICE Activity
Use any quote you like and use ICE as you would in an essay. You can use a show or a book or even a song. I am looking for an intro to the quote, the quote and citation and the explanation. You do not need to write a lot but it should make sense. Please add the citation.
Here is an example.
The show After Life has some very deep moments. The idea that you can still live life even when you feel rechted is at the core of the show. Anna says, "Happiness is amazing. It's so amazing it doesn't matter if it's yours or not" (Gervis 1:15-1:20). These words help both characters understand that there are still reasons to continue.
Here is the clip if you would like to see it. It is worth watching. It is only 2.12 minutes.
