If you know his books, you know what he means by a "crazy picture." If he likes the picture he creates, he begins to imagine the whole story that might be based on the illustration.

Task: Write the story for the following picture.
Directions:

1. Brainstorm as many details you notice about the picture as possible.
2. Create a story that relates to your picture and include the details you came up with while brainstorming.

​Do you have a favorite person--a friend or a family member?  Do you have a favorite song?  Have you ever thought about putting your favorite person and your favorite song together in a fictional scene?  Doing this will make an interesting piece of writing...if you use really interesting details to show the WHERE and the WHO you are writing about.

Task: Write a story about your favorite person and song.
Directions:
1. List three of your favorite songs.
2. List four or five of your favorite people.
3. Put one of the favorite people you've listed in a fictional situation where one of the favorite songs might be playing in the background.  Describe the person and what he/she is doing from the moment the song begins playing until the moment it ends.  You DON'T even need to mention the song as you write; its playing in the background might be your little secret to guide the scene.  ]]> 2016-09-22 15:08:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cdillman/lhij2n8q8ol1/wish/125756152
