Pick three letters from the alphabet. For example, A, J, and L. Then, for each letter, pick a name, a location, and a job. This is your new character. Write a couple paragraphs about them. For example: Arthur is a Lycanthropologist in Jamaica. He is 15. His parents are vampires vacationing in Jamaica (because it has a great nightlife). He is secretly fascinating with werewolves, who are supposed to be his sworn enemies. While in Jamaica he uncovers a.... and so on.

winter break

Describe your ideal Winter Break. Where would you go? What would you do? Money is not an obstacle. If you could do anything you wanted, what would that be?

I would go sledding with my family on fourwheelers or down a hill. Or I could play a game with my family or I could go and relaxe and read a book. But I would rather do something with my family.

If I could do anything I wanted I would like to go airsofting. Airsofting doesent sound like a winter break to some people. But to me being able to miss school and go airsofting with my friends and family (if they want to go) sounds like a pretty good winter break to me.

Sometimes because of pride or ego or a mistaken idea, one person may not confide in another or tell them the whole truth. Have you ever been in a situation in which you didn’t want the other person to know something about you? You had something you wanted to keep secret? How did you act? Did the other person realize you were hiding something? How did your behavior change the way they acted toward you?

well I havent had anything like that happen to me before. Someone might have kept a secret from me but I didn't react. But it did happen to someone I know.
It was my mom, she goes out and spends alot of money on stuff and we don't even know where it goes. So my mom and dad argue over the situation and my dad does'nt trust my mom with money anymore. My mom also promises stuff to us but her buissness always gets in the way and so we don't do what she has promised us. so now we don't trust her with promises that much.

Describe your best or worst Halloween costume ever. Use lots of details and explain why it was so awesome or lame.

The best costume I ever had was when I was a pirate. It would be a zombie costume but I have'nt been that yet. The reason why the pirate costume was the best will be explaned in pareagraph two.

Being a pirate was my favorite because at that time I really liked pirates. Its also one of the only costumes I've ever worn. I liked pirates because they were cool and they were awsome and because they could bring around weapons.

So that is the reason that being a pirate was my favorite. I've been other things but that was like the only real costume I've been unless you consider dressing up with jeans, a black shirt and a hat a costume.

It seems like reading Edgar Allan Poe stories around Halloween is a rite of passage for students in English classes. He wrote poems such as "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee" and stories like "The Tell-Tale Heart", "The Black Cat", "The Fall of the House of Usher", "The Cask of Amontillado", "The Masque of the Red Death", "The Pit and the Pendulum", etc.If you have read Poe stories before, which ones have you read and what do you remember of them? Did you like them? How scary/creepy were they? Share your memories of you or teachers reading the works of Edgar Allan Poe.If you have not read Poe or don't remember, describe to me what you expect from a classic horror writer? What kinds of stories do you think we'll be reading? Have you ever read scary stories?

I read tell tale heart. it was ok. I remember it was about this guy who wanted to kill a old man with a eagle eye.

it was kinda scary. I thought the guy shoud'nt have jumped to conclusions. It would have been a great story if the guy kept it cool.

as far as im concerned it was a great story.

Have you ever studied a skunk's eyes? Write about some item you find beauty in that many others might not.

Some people think that football is a really boring sport but I think that it is really fun. I like the idea of tackling and catching the football and some people like two hand touch.

I think video games are great because you can go on a adventure that you will never be able to do in your whole life. Like if you wanted to join the army you could play a game where your a army guy and its got good graphics. If you like it then you might want to join the army.

Write to me about your experiences with reading stories as a child. Did your parents read to you? What kinds of things did you read? Nursery rhymes? Adventure stories? Fairy tales? Bedtime stories? Did you have a favorite story when you were little? If you didn't read as a child, do you think that has affected you in any way? Do you have a favorite story now? Do you think it is important for children to be read to?



Yes my parents read to me as a child. We mostly read fairy tales, a few nursery rhymes, and maybe one or two adventure stories. We also had some bedtime stories.

My favorite story was a fairy tale story called, well I forget what it was called. It was about a beaver wood cutter who had a family and was poor, that was a breaf discription. I don't think not reading had an affection.

My favorite book I read was THE INVISILBLE MAN by H.G. wells. I thought it was a relly good book.
