What do you do when...?

1. Ask students a cue question like 'What do you do when you are depressed?' and ask them to jot down a few ideas, using one of the frequency adverbs always, usually, often, sometimes each time: I sometimes go out and buy some new clothes. I usually just sit and listen to music.
2. Then share ideas with each other; or try to find other students who have similar reactions.
3. Alternative situations that can provide cues are: other moods (when you are happy, annoyed, bored, nervous) or events (when you have a free day, quarrel with a friend, have an exam the next day, find yourself short of money).
