Let Me Add To That...

4/12/2016

Instructions: Use the following sentence starter to write a 17-word essay. Then, in all caps, add 10 more words to another post. You cannot exceed the word-count in either instance or it will be graded as a zero for not following directions.

Sentence Starter: [Create your own character and job] peered out from behind the curtain...[INSERT YOUR 17-WORD HERE IN ALL CAPS]. My example is below. Do not use what I wrote in any way.

Example: Blue, the investigative reporter, peered out from behind the curtain THEN DASHED ACROSS THE HALL, ALMOST DROPPING IT. TO DO SO, WOULD MEAN DESTROYING THE ENTIRE LEGACY.

INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.

CAUTION!! Do NOT embarrass me, yourself, your class, the English department, the school or your parents with tasteless, meaningless comments. This is for a grade.
