Finish this story (but read "The Catch" below first):
​
The Catch:

1. INCLUDE: Nick Name AND Class Block.


2. You can only write nine (9) words. Respond in no more than nine (9) words and no less than nine (9) words.

3. Your nine words cannot be the same or close to what someone else wrote. (See example below)

4. The story has to be a complete thought. It's a 18-word story. I've given you the beginning in nine (9) words. Now, you have to write the middle and ending in nine (9) words only!

5. You DO NOT have to respond to other stories.

Example:

Okay: You must write an original nine words that come from your imagination.

Not Okay: You must write nine words from your own imagination so get busy.

Those two sentences sound alike so the second one is not acceptable. So in other words, do not rearrange someone else's words. Use your own thinking, imagination and critical thinking skills to add your own words.

The hinge on the wooden cupboard snapped. The door slammed onto the counter, smashing the cookie jar. Wood and glass spewed onto the floor. "No," Dakota screamed! "I've gotta make it downtown in time!" She tiptoed over the broken pieces and out of the kitchen. Dakota dashed down the hall and grabbed her keys off the entryway table. "Ring!" The phone pierced. Dakota stopped. Puzzled. Hairs on her neck and arms stood at attention. She turned, slowly, and glared at the painting on the wall. The phone in the painting of the iconic, red phone box from London, was ringing.
Finish the story in EXACTLY 100 words. No more. No less. A few things: your story MUST include the following words: downtown, ring and broken. AND, most importantly, your story MUST be a flawless continuation of the story you respond to. At the end, there should only be ONE story.

COVID-9TEEN Edition: Shelter or Not?

4/19/2020

 
Picture
​History is being made and you are living directly in its footpath. In fact, you are the historians of this time. How will you conduct yourselves? As a clue, this 9-week series has been created for you to share your experiences during the COVID-19, Coronavirus Pandemic. It is not only responsible but imperative that you document this history as it is happening so that, later, you can not only reflect on it but hopefully, learn, teach and evolve from it.
 
Through creative partnerships, selected short stories, blog posts, images, audio and videos will be published on #WhenTeensWrite, an online teen library. And in collaboration with ART | library deco, an online digital art library, all your submissions will be archived in their online repository in 2021.
 
Over the next nine weeks, you will write about the different effects that the COVID-19 virus is having on you, your family, your neighbors, teachers, friends and people around the world. Each week, you will tackle a different category to gauge the mindsets of other teens and how you are coping.
 
The world is living in a very challenging time. How did we get here? Why did we get here? Here means that families are being forced to eat together. Couples are being forced to spend time together. Individuals are being forced to think differently about how we do things: shop, interact, socialize, worship. Businesses are being forced to rethink how they service their customers. It is as if  that the Universe, or an energy higher than ourselves, is sending a profound message that the world needs to slow down and rethink or recognize what is really important. It took a potentially deadly virus to do it.
 
And slow down, we have. COVID-19 is a respiratory virus that's wreaking all kind of havoc around the world. It is stirring turmoil economically, spiritually, socially, emotionally, mentally, familially, romantically, academically, technologically, nutritionally and medically, as fast as it's being spread.
 
You are going to discuss these collections of turmoil so that the world can know out what you think. Of all generations, I believe that the Gen Zers, you, are the most effected because this will go down as one of the most impactful occurrences in your history. The following is Week 5.

In late March, local government officials began issuing Shelter-in-Place or Shelter-at-Home orders. This means that people are mandated by the government to stay at home and not go out in public. The idea is that this measure could help limit the spread of the virus. As a result, nonessential businesses had to close and people's movements were limited. The media soon began reporting that in areas where people obliged the order, spread of the virus was slowing. However, soon, the orders were being extended and in cities in some states, people began protesting the orders. On the other end of the spectrum, people appreciated the efforts of the government to protect the public. Whatever the effects, it has been a roller coaster ride from coast to coast. And in the end, to Shelter-in-Place or not to Shelter-in-Place, that is the question.
Read this post in its entirety. Consider it, then comment intelligently, academically, respectfully and with fidelity on the following prompt: In explicit detail, discuss your observations with how people you know and other people in the community are handling Shelter-in-Place and Stay-at-Home orders. Make observations about how we, in the United States, compare with other countries and the impact you think general behavior will impact the near future.
​
1. INCLUDE: First initial AND last name AND class period.

2. Respond in no more than 10 sentences and no less than five.


3. You MUST respond to at least TWO other posts from any student. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.


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

DISCLAIMER: If you do not respond AND comment on TWO others, you will not receive credit for this assignment. It's all or nothing.

    Mixed Ink

    Mixed Ink is our class blog, the window into our souls. It was designed to improve students' writing, critical thinking and communication skills by giving them a platform to provide meaningful content based on their interpretation of what they see.

    Although the students receive a grade based on a rubric for completing this assignment, they are not graded on complexity of thought. This is a place where students of all levels can freely, confidently and creatively express themselves and their opinions in a nonjudgmental platform. They are required to respond to and critique each other, but degradation, slander, lewdness, etc., will not be tolerated. 

    Bridge Builders

    All subjects are vital to learning, but  English is the bridge of communication. So let's build the arch, one word at a time...
