There is no blog this week. Good look on submitting your applications to all of you applying for November 1st deadlines.

It is a tradition on this blog to do a Halloween-themed post with a scary story. You can make this as creative as you like, but your assignment is to write a scary story. I can't wait to see how many stories revolve around the application process and/or school work...
Until the IOC in December, I am going to sneak in a few poetry posts. This one will be the easiest. I want you to find a poem that interests you. It does not need to be some deep-thinking work, I want you to find a poem that you genuinely enjoy. Copy and paste the poem into your post, and then write a brief description about why you like the poem. You do not need to describe poetic devices in your description, but you are, of course, welcome to use our new terminology.
Okay, the first part of this prompt is something that I do with my 10th graders, and I really like the creative responses. I am adding a second part to deepen the response.
Part 1: Compare yourself to a FICTIONAL character--how are you like this character? Part 2: If you could be like any fictional character, who would it be and why? Your answers will be longer, but here are my examples: Part 1: Jim from The Office. I am a very laid back and sarcastic person. Part 2: Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec. I would love to be able to grow a mustache like him and just drip with swag. Also, being able to woodwork would be cool. ou have analyzed books, short stories, movies, poetry, and art. Now it is time to analyze the classic medium of music video. I believe that you have all seen me do this with "Last Christmas" by Wham. I want you to analyze literary elements found in the videos and how they add to the overall meaning. There are some modern ones that could be easy (Taylor Swift, Imagine Dragons, for example), but feel free to have fun with this and dive into some 80's, 90's, and 00's. Have fun!!!
