This week students were given the following creative writing task:
“You have been hired as a secret agent by the F.B.I., the C.I.A., and the X-Files because you have seen a creature only you can identify! These creatures are so mysterious that students are the only people who are alert enough to actually see them commit their annoying pranks. The pranks that these creatures commit are just mischievous actions to annoy you and others. For example, these creatures take peanuts out of Snickers bars just when you are ready to take your first bite. Also, just as you sit down to taste your buttery popcorn, the butter has suddenly disappeared. The pests have been known to take bubbles out of bubble gum!”
Students began drafting their pest descriptions this week. First, they created their own original pest. Then they started writing detailed descriptions of their pests. The descriptions include what the pest looks like, its annoying qualities, where to find the pest, and how to capture it. The final draft will be a pest wanted poster with an illustration of the pest and a detailed description.
Check back to see how these pests are developing!
