  1. WRITING PROMPT #1:“You Don’t Know Me” • A person who doesn’t know you has just walked into your room. Write a paragraph (minimum 7 sentences) that tells what that person could learn about you by looking at the items on your desk, by noticing your taste in colors, and by noting the tidiness (or untidiness) of your room. 9/13/13

  2. WRITING PROMPT #2:Compound Nouns Compound words are two words put together to make a new word. Examples are snowman, basketball, and upstairs. Add to each word below to make a word to the beginning or to the end! House Light Time Over • Sun • Water • Man • Some 9/23/13

  3. Put your completed writing prompt in your Writing Compositions folder. WRITING PROMPT #3: Pseudonyms • Many writers write under a pen name, or a name other than their real name. Samuel Clemens wrote under the name of Mark Twain. Invent a pen name for yourself. In at least five sentences, explain why you might use a pen name rather than your own name. 10/28/13

  4. Put your completed writing prompt in your Writing Compositions folder. WRITING PROMPT #4:I’d Never Have Awakened Did he appear because I fell asleep thinking of him? If only I’d known I was dreaming, I’d have never wakened. Have you ever had a dream that you didn’t want to wake up from? Imagine the continuation of that dream—the part you didn’t get to experience because you woke up. • First, write a prose narrative of that dream. • Then, write a poem about it. In this poem by Ono No Komachi, the speaker imagines staying in her dream instead of returning to her regular waking life. Today’s prompt is worth 20 points! 10/29/13

  5. 10/31/13 (Grade 8)Writing Prompt #5: “All Hallow’s Eve” • Today is Halloween! Yes, there will be masquerades and mayhem and treats and tricks, fun scary times indeed. But nothing will compare to what comes up if we are blessed to wake up tomorrow: All Saints Day. It’s the designated day to remember the holy souls of those gone before us. In honor of All Saints Day, write about your own patron saint—or another saint about whom you are interested and/or know a lot of information.

  6. Writing Prompt #6:“I Spy with My Little Eye…” 11/25/13 • Make a list of the items shown in the photo. Try to list as many details as possible. (Think of it like a Where’s Waldo? or I Spy game.) • Review your list. Select any number of items and group them in any way you please—by size, color, purpose, and so on. Then, compose a detailed description of any three items. • Compose a description of the entire photo by using spatial order. (For instance, begin by describing the pilot’s steering wheel; then, move on to describe what is to the left of the wheel, above it, etc.) Incorporate an explanation of why the items in the photo are in their current state of neglect.
