#1 Explain This


It's time for your first blog post, creative writers! In case you were wondering, the picture above is an axolotl. It is meant to inspire you in your first blogging endeavor. The idea is to really use your imagination here. Don't worry about being completely "honest" or "real." Don't feel limited. Follow these easy steps; if I don't explicitly say not to do something, go ahead. The sky's the limit.

1. Upload a wacky image to your blog. It can be a photo, a cartoon, a piece of art, or even a famous logo. Google Image is a good place to find anything you want. Keep it clean, kids.

2. Title your post whatever you want, but be sure to start your title with "#1" as I have done above. This is so your fellow classmates can easily locate this week's entry.

3. Write two descriptions or explanations for your image. Each should be a minimum of eight sentences long (at least 16 sentences total). Choose two of the following audiences for your descriptions or explanations:

a. Kindergartners
b. Your peers
c. Your grandparents
d. Harry Potter fanatics
e. Chefs
f. Musicians
g. Republicans
h. Space Aliens
What kind of musicians? You decide! Your real grandparents? How should I know? Harry Potter fans as "cool" or "annoying?" Whatever you think. Have fun with this.
