Purpose: To demonstrate the varied power of words.
Activity: Pass out sections of a newspaper to everyone in your group. Ask each person to read through their section and pick out once sentence that uses words in a powerful way. The sentence could be encouraging, biting, sarcastic, or hopeful—it doesn't matter, as long as the words communicate powerfully.
When everyone has chose, ask for volunteers to read their sentences out loud. As a group, discuss the ways in which each set of words demonstrates power.
Possible follow-up questions:- From what source do you most often encounter powerful words?
- When was the last time you wrote or spoke words that you considered to be powerful?
