| Title | Writing Practice Ideas |
| Body | Some writing activities that my students have enjoyed: a. Alien Planet: Pretend that an Alien has spent a month with you here on Earth and he/she invites you to visit his/her planet. (Talk about how you got there, what they wear, what they eat, where they live, what they do in their free time) This essay can be organized like a regular essay so that they have a beginning, middle and end.... b. Create a new hotel, resort, or fun center for your home town. You must include: a drawing of the inside, a drawing of the outside, a personal ad looking for employees, describe their hours, dress code, personal skills needed, educational requirements, pay... make up a proposal to "sell" you idea to the county commissioners and the city planners, explain how you will pay for your new place and where it will be and how it will affect the area. b. My kids enjoy writing essays based on a single cell of a cartoon... I have a couple of books with nice ones... for example, one shows two kids filling the trunk of the car with sand at the beach. If you instruct the students to write about what happens after the scene or what happened up to that point, then they have to use their skills to make up something that fits the picture into the sequence of events.
