We are going to the media center today.
Collect permission slips

 Storybird has a challenge that is too good to resist!  

Our class code is ZCW9J.  Hopefully, you can join my class easily!  We'll work through it together!

Here is a link to the November challenge. I would like everyone to finish this project.  We will work on it again!
Odes We will look at this slideshow. (If we have time) 

Think of an everyday object

What are the objects best qualities?

How does the object look, feel, sound, smell?

Pay tribute to this object in your ode

How could you use figurative language to compare this object?

 Write an ode or two.  Consider using Storybird.  

 IF time, we will write limericks!  SO fun. You may work alone or with friends!

Welcome to Creative Writing! I am excited about our semester together!   Today we will learn a little about the class (I will try not to be BORING)!  We will get to know each other and create Selfies and Text Messages about ourselves. We will use THIS template for your selfie picture.  You will write a text message answering one or more of the following questions: What did you NOT do this summer? Best memory of the summer. Best thing you ate this summer. Funniest thing that happened this summer. Person you spent a lot of time with this summer. Something educational you did this summer. Somewhere you traveled or went this summer. If you have another idea, just ask! We will display these on our bulletin board to learn more about each other! After that, we will play a few games to get us up and moving around! TO DO Please bring a pair of school scissors tomorrow, as well as a glue stick!

Rick Reilly Columnist, ESPN.com Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment CONGRATS, NEWLY MINTED NBA ROOKIE! Now you've been drafted. Next comes the delicious multimillion-dollar contract. And that's when you must do what most NBA players do: start going through cash like Jack Black through the Keebler factory. Filing for bankruptcy is a long-standing tradition for NBA players, 60% of whom, according to the Toronto Star, are broke five years after they retire. The other 40% deliver the Toronto Star.

And if everyone from Johnny Unitas to Sheryl Swoopes to Lawrence Taylor can do it, so can you! With my How to Go Bankrupt* DVD series, it's a layup to go belly-up! Ten essentials, just to get you started: 1. Screw up, deny it, then fight by using every lawyer and dime
