Getting new glasses, cleaning the mess of
receipts out of my purse, getting a hair cut (got my first cut in exactly 1 year yesterday!)
Some items in the bag might include cosmetics, newspapers, magazine articles, airline or movie ticket stubs, photographs
of people or places, a music CD, grooming materials, keys, a candy wrapper, a crayon, a slip
of paper with a first name and phone number written on it, a recipe, an empty soda can, a parking ticket, a check made
out to them, a rubber band, a keychain with no keys on it, a
receipt from a grocery store or a fast - food restaurant (If you are stuck for a long list
of items, you might even brainstorm in advance with students a list
of nouns / things that might be found in students» pockets /
purses or in a «junk drawer» at home.
Everything gets dumped in there... the mail, my
purse,
receipts, bills, magazines, it doesn't take but a few days and it is
out of control.
