Yesterday's story went over pretty well in class. I had to go first, so I was really nervous. I thought that was weird because public speaking is usually my thing but I guess it's been a while. Anyway, we all had to comment on each other's stuff although we were only allowed to say positive things so it was hardly "honest feedback." It was good ego padding though, here are some excerpts:
"Great ending" "Captivating and interesting" "What mystery!... made it compelling!"
My favorite is the professor though: "Great intro - action - tension - danger - suprise ending - humor" ...I guess that is enough horn tooting.
On to today's Plan Bee assignment:
(I want to keep it short today, but I'm going to start varying the length more.)
Write about the inexplicable menace in a seemingly neutral object:
--WE INTERRUPT YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED BLOG TO BRING YOU THIS URGENT PRESIDENTAL ADDRESS --
My fellow Americans, it is my sad duty to report to you this evening that the United States is once again at war. The enemy is not halfway around the world, and he doesn't fight with guns or bombs or even planes; he is right here in our very homes, putting our friends and family at risk. That's right, I'm talking about iced cream. Ice cream, especially after a meal of fast food, is the leading cause of spare tires, camel toes and front-butts, afflictions which plague this great nation. My fellow Americans, I call upon you to gather your courage and take a stand against this senseless consumption of congealed cream, only together will we rid ourselves of Ben, Jerry, Hagen, and the Bryer coalition. Good luck, and God bless.
