Trashy Sentences

Posted on by

Students were asked to write a list of everything they have ever thrown in the trash.  From that list, they chose an item to use in a complex sentence.  Here are some of my favorite sentences that were submitted:

“I was sad as I threw away the Skittle that had fallen on the floor.”  #fivesecondrule

“After I found out my sister made the frosting, I threw it away.”  #siblingrivalry

“If I break a game, it becomes a broken game.”  #statingtheobvious

“As I was throwing away wrapping paper, my brother tackled me.”  #siblingrivalry

“Until the meat got bad, it was steak.”  #steakisgood

“I know I have too many socks, but until you rub my feet I won’t give you any.”  #toughlove

“I threw away my plants until they were dead.”  #notwateringworkstoo

“Since you threw away your report card, you shall be grounded.”  #dramaticdiscipline

“If bowls and spoons didn’t exist, we would have to eat soup on a plate and eat it with a fork.”  #themotherofinvention

Creating Myths

Posted on by

Myths are stories passed down from generation to generation used to explain the nature of the universe, humanity, or to teach a lesson.  We read two of them in class, and now the students are creating their own myths.

Once their stories are written and scripted, they will be videoed and shared.  It is an ambitious project that will stretch my students’ imaginations and creativity.

Let the games begin.
