6-1 Palindromes

Here are some of the palindromes we made in 6-1 to get ready for Holes. I'm sorry Blogger won't upload them right-side-up, but please enjoy nevertheless.

6-Word Stories

Today in Creative Writing, the 6-2 class learned about 6-word stories - very, very, VERY short stories (only and exactly 6 words long). Then, they created their own. Here are some I'd like to share:


Some things just can't be undone. - MH

Too late, sir. She is gone. - MW

The lullaby stopped, and I cried. - JV

Where she was, no one knows. - DM

High school... then college... then professional. - MS

Wherever you are, stay right there. - GR

The last one: not for sale. - OS

Sorry man, you can't have pencils. - JB

I saw him; then I didn't. - SM

It sounded loud and looked fast. - MV

Green and blue. I'm staying here. - RB

Blackout Poetry!!!

Wow! I'm super impressed with everyone's blackout poetry. You all did an amazing job. Here are a few highlights:

Our poetry board is filling up nicely :)

"I believe you can do this."

"The lightning bolt was sparkling."

"The majesty of the sea 

comes without warning 

when we cast aside the mystery

and delve into the melody

of the song."

"The lovely men and women

invented a deep personal adornment

of beauty."

""Like the old beauty of a world in real life

We need to know and understand ourselves

so that we can admire and love the people."

Weekend Writing Assignment for 6-1

Due Monday:

Imagine how things might have been different had Lucy chosen to follow Aslan right away instead of going with the other children and the Dwarf. Write a scene or two (about a page; feel free to write more if you'd like) to follow the scene in which Lucy first spots Aslan in Chapter 9. In your scene(s) have Lucy insist on following Aslan regardless of what the other children choose. Imagine what might happen next.

- Double-spaced

Letters from the Moon to the Sun

Hey guys! Just wanted to post a couple of creative letters I received from your assignment Thursday. I thought these were pretty great - and they really did a nice job of using the right format (a letter). Enjoy!

From 6-2, by J.B.:

Dear Sun,

It’s been so long! I having a great time here near earth. How about you?

Earth and I have been having a blast together. We have planned a ton of moon eclipses for the people on Earth. How is Mercury doing? Is he still on the medication?

So I was thinking we can plan a meeting for us to see each other again. Maybe during our eclipses Earth and I have planned, or maybe I can come over and ask pluto to take over for me? Well anyways, The eclipses are 10 Earth days apart, which is 1 day apart to us. So maybe you can get ready during the day and come over? Also Mars is gonna come and help us with the eclipses. There are gonna be a total of 10 eclipses. Well anyways, if you can come over, please come!

I’m also gonna be hosting the Milky Way Galaxy Awards, which is in a month. Isn’t that cool? Plus, the co-host is Jupiter. Maybe we can win Best system award this year! Hopefully we can. Well, tell everyone i said hi!

Sincerely,

                The Moon
