Throughout the school year, I will post questions here. Answer them thoroughly and honestly. Always proofread before publishing. Happy blogging!

The Syracuse Post-Standard has published the beginning of a short story, written by Bruce Coville (of Bunnicula fame), and has asked its readers to finish it. Your blog assignment is to do just that. First, you'll need to read Coville's story starter at the link below:
www.syracuse.com/living/2019/09/bruce-coville-halloween-writing-contest-2019-room-213.html Publish the ending to your short story here in the comments to this blog post for blog credit. Your ending needs to be at least 150 words. You should be sure to resolve the conflict in the story and have it fit Coville's writing style thus far as well. **Extra credit: If you submit your story ending to the actual contest via email and copy (CC) me on the email ([email protected]), I will give you a homework pass for a future blog post. You can use your JD email account or a personal account. See me if you're not sure how to do this by Wednesday, 10/8. Here are the directions to submit via email: Include your name, address, age, grade and a phone number where you can be reached on your entry. You can submit an entry via email at [email protected]. Be sure to include CNY Halloween Contest in the subject line. The deadline is noon on Thursday, October 10. Two years ago, Luke Cantone WON the contest in 7th grade! As promised to him, if you win the whole contest, I will excuse you from blog posts for the rest of the year. If you get an honorable mention, you will earn an additional homework pass for the year. Best of luck! Think about your personality and the way that your friends would describe you. Choose two character traits (not physical traits) that could describe you and explain using evidence. Challenge yourself to use good vocabulary when choosing your character traits (i.e. instead of "nice," use "affable").
Be sure to proofread your response and make sure it meets the 150 word minimum for this week. Beware of being too repetitive and remember, no text language. |
