Change the World

This is the first of two assignments this week.

If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? Why would you make this change?  Make sure you develop your answer before you publish it!

Once you have posted your response, read the responses posted by your peers and reply thoughtfully to at least two other students. Compliment strong points, make connections, ask questions and build on ideas shared!

As always, I look forward to reading your responses!

Your task this week is to create a short story using the following picture and only 100 words.  Not 99.  Not 101.  One hundred exactly!

Make sure you study the picture closely and let your imagination run wild!  Be as creative as you can and don't forget to include the picture in your post!

I look forward to reading what you come up with and make sure you check your spelling and grammar before you publish it!

Once this has been completed and posted on your blog, read and respond to at least 3 other people’s posts.

Good luck!
