Our Quick Write began with a discussion about figures of speech and cliches related to "hands." We compiled quite a list:
I gotta hand it to you; in the palm of my hand; being fingered for a crime; wrapped around my finger; 5-finger discount; back of my hand; a slap in the face; thumbs up/down; give me five; lend a hand; hand it over, etc.
After this little brainstorming, I asked the students to write something about hands. They could use some of our cliches or they could write about the use of their hands. When they were done, I had them watch a short video about hands by spoken word artist, Sarah Kay.
