Jeff for America

One of my 6th grade students wrote this short story and showed it to me today. It was her homework, and it was shoved in my face at 7am. Overall, I’d praise her for her vivid use of detail and proper use of pro-nouns (although a bit overkill with the parenthesis). My one piece of advice was that she should try to grab the reader’s attention in the first lines of the story…not the last. Read on.

So…what do you say to something like that? Well, at 7am in the morning, you take a picture of it with your phone and try to laugh. Sometimes, that’s all you can do.
