Wednesday, August 13 - Animal

Hopefully by now, you have sent me your blog address (URL).  I need this ASAP if you have not done so. Today we are going to hopefully be able to begin our "Creative Bursts."  You must have your own blog through Google+ and Blogger in order to do this.  

During "Creative Burst" time, you MUST write on your blog for the entire time.  This will always be between 10-20 minutes.  If you run out of things to say within your post, fluff it up by adding pictures, insert links to other pages online that relate to something within that day's post.  I will give you a "1 MINUTE" warning, so that you can wrap up whatever it is you are doing in the blog and PROOFREAD, before clicking publish.  Remember, once you click publish, your writing is out there for all of us, other teachers, administrators, and even that person in Tokyo.  Be sure to double check your writing before publishing. 

Step by step directions for Blog entry/post #1:
1.  Create a new post on your blog.  
2.  Title the post with today's date and a brief one word description of the prompt.  I'm going to roll with the topic I had planned for yesterday. Today for your post title you would write," Wednesday, August 13 - Animal."  
3.  Write a poem, song lyrics, a dramatic monologue, a conversation, a short short story, etc. about the topic below:

Wednesday, August 13
Describe a day in the life of an animal of your choosing.  What happens from its perspective?  Can it talk? Does it have friends?  Does it have a sense of humor?  Focus on details; paint a picture of your chosen animal using specific and purposeful word choice.
