Writing exercise

Phenomenology as Method: Writing lived experience description

Guidelines:

• Always in 1^st person (I my me mine)
• Always a reflection (memory looking back)
• But written in present tense (Describe it as it happens, use verbs ending in -ing., i.e. I am walking, I am running, I am sweating, someone yells, I trip, she falls, etc.)
• Sensory descriptions (5-7 senses engaged: how do sound, sight, smell, taste, touch, kinesthesia, or other bodily senses show up in the experience?)
