Creative Paragraph #01

This will be discussed in class next week.

Due Monday 9/30/19 by 8:15 am to Turnitin.com

DIRECTIONS:  Choose to write about one of the two prompts below.  Bracket off at least three original prepositional phrases within different sentences.  If you get stuck, feel free to use the sentence patterns you wrote in your daily sentence composing journal as a guide.  This is intended to be a fun, creative paragraph exercise and is not meant to be written formally or with extra care.  In other words, do your best, but it doesn’t have to be perfect.  Include the title at the top of the document. The minimum word count is 150 words. 

TITLE:  DOG SITTING

PROMPT:  Your neighbor is going out of town for several weeks and needs someone to take care of her dog. She is considering either hiring you or taking the dog to a kennel. Write a paragraph describing what you think your neighbor should do with her dog. Give several reasons and examples to support what you recommend.

TITLE NIGHT OWL

PROMPT:  Now that you are in the eighth grade, you think your bedtime should be moved back by one hour. Your parents aren't sure that this is a good idea, but they are willing to consider your argument. Write a paragraph that explains your reasons for wanting a later bedtime. As you make your argument, be sure to address any objections your parents are likely to make about your proposal.
