April 27-May1 Writing Assignments

Okay everyone, I am really proud of your posts and the rewrites that I asked you to do. We have a field trip this week, and will STILL have time to get all our work done in the computer lab. It is crucial to our project that we do our writing assignment and rewrites in the lab. In order to have future classes do something like this, again, we need to be working. (Go to U-tube and crazy video feeds at home or when we EARN free time!)

This weeks writing assignments are:
1. Create a top 10 list of places that you would like to visit. (ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD). Describe them. You may use pictures, like a travel brochure, but remember that you need to use your OWN words not someone Else's.

2. Describe a time that you or someone you know was caught in "bad" weather. Rain? Snow? Describe the trials and tribulations that they endured. Tell me what you would have done differently, if you could have "planned" such an event.

3. Finish the story: "How could you do this to me?", said the librarian, as the storm moved closer...

4. Write a rhyming *any scheme you wish* poem about a cloud. Your poem should express patience.

5. Imagine your life in five years. What will it be like? Where do you live? What are you doing? Now go ten years into the future. Imagine that you are visiting Sage Elementary. What would you tell those kids? Do you think the school will be here? If not, what is here instead? Be descriptive about yourself, you future and what you think about our schools future.

Pick any TWO and post them. This week the WHOLE packet is due. NO EXCEPTIONS. OK everyone, get started. Remember writing is a process an NO one writes something perfectly in the first draft. *Even professionals have a boss that edits their work* That is why we always need to go back and edit! Every post should have at least five spelling words in them. Have fun!
P.S. We will have something special the following week, if everyone does the work! *no peeking*
