#2: Crayons

"Everyone is born creative; everyone is
given a box of crayons in kindergarten."

Write about crayons. Or your childhood. Or being creative. Or being free to color/draw/paint/sing/write/whatever. Write about your true colors. Write about being young and wild and free. Or just include one line about crayon. Do whatever you want and leave me alone already.

  • Purchase a writing journal.
  • Choose a pen name. (Nothing offensive, no Lone Peak students.)
  • Create your own blog on Blogger (aka Blogspot) - HELP
  • Check out the Hall of Fame to see previous student work (also, the examples below).
  • Post an introduction on your blog (you're speaking to the blogging world, not to me...remember, keep it anonymous).
