Story Starter

This week you are going to use a story starter to complete the weekly blog.  Remember, when you tell a story you include setting, developed characters, problem and solution.  We have also been working figurative language in the form of similes, metaphors, and personification.  You need to use at least one example of figurative language in the telling of your story. 

As always, it needs to be 6-7 sentences in length and use correct capitalization and punctuation.  The story starter is as follows:

"I know animals aren't supposed to talk, but I could tell right away that these were different..."

Happy  Blogging! :)

Hero

This week I want you to tell me about your hero.  Through this blog you should define what a hero is and why yours is so special to you.  Heroes exist in many forms.  When have you encountered one in your life?  What did they do to make them your hero?  What qualities do you have the also exhibit that of a hero?  Do you think you have been a hero to anyone else? 

Answer these questions is a 6-7 sentence paragraph.  Remember to use correct capitalization and punctuation!  Happy blogging!
