Details, Details, Details

Select a specific item to describe (it could be a food, an animal, an item in your room, a sport's team, etc..). In your blog, specifically describle your object with great detail. Then, skip down a few lines and type in the word you were describing. Your classmates and other guest readers will try to guess what you are describing based on your spectacular description skills! (You may need to describe two seperate items in order to reach your 100 word minimum) See the example below:

This animal lives in the sea and is one of God's most unique creations. It may appear like any other fish most of the time, but can transform into one unusual creature if it feels endangered. This water animal protects itself by blowing its body out and appearing as a water porcupine with sharp pin-like needles popping out all over its body. Its coloring is fairly bland, being mainly shades of brown. It however can be shades of blue or green. Some people eat this fish and pay large amounts of money to do so. However, I am not sure I would because the ovaries, skin, muscles and, above all, the liver may contain a deadly poison.

As we traveled further and further from the entrance of the cave, the few shreds of light grew dimmer and dimmer, until finally, we were only feeling our way along the cave walls, weaving in and out of the stalagmites that poked themselves up from the cave's floor. Just as we became too frozen with fear to go on, we saw it.

Thankful heart

As Thanksgiving is approaching, we all need to stop and think of things that we are thankful for. In your blog this week, brainstorm at least 50 things for which you are thankful. Please number them in your blog! Since this is a list instead of a paragraph, you do not need 100 words, only 50 things for which to be thankful.

3 Magic Wishes
