Break the class into small groups and have them discuss the questions together.

Give them a prompt (e.g. "Write about a time when a natural disaster affected you or someone you know, and how hope played a role in the recovery process"). Have students brainstorm ideas for their essay in small groups, and then have each group share their ideas with the class.
