Creative Writing- Christmas

Congrats on finishing your test! Now you can relax and work on a creative piece of writing.

Choose one of the prompts below to write about. The goal is to practice writing with good detail and description, rather than a story. Therefore, add detail and description whenever possible. You should use figurative language at least five times in your writing. It should be at least one page long. Your writing should have the proper English heading and "Descriptive Writing-Christmas" as the title.
Christmas Prompt Choices (3):

• Personify your Christmas tree. Write a story from the Christmas tree's point of view.
• Describe the sights, sounds, and smells of when you first walk out to the tree on Christmas morning.
• Describe this picture without using the word "white" at all. Try to use as much figurative language as you can.
  

Pronoun Practice: Test 12/15/15

The pronoun test will be on 12/15/15. The test will cover all of the notes on pronouns, and it will include information from previous tests (commas, grammar, sentence structure). We have reviewed extensively in class.

Below, there is a link for an additional practice on pronouns. Students will be able to work on this in class on the chromebook for extra practice. This is only an extra resource, and it will not be taken as a grade.
