The students today came up with their "Movie Star" names...take your middle name for your first name and use your street name as your last name...There was a Henry Pinecrest, Willow Riverbanks, May River, Enrique Tammi, Wyat Jones and so on! The students were assigned the job to write a story using their movie star name as the main character.
The writing was the best I have seen from this group. They were truly inspired and created some amazing people! There was a great artist who returned to paint her teacher's portrait, there was a rock star who just happened to living in a VW van, there was a SWAT team agent who used nerf guns with playful accuracy and so on. The students read their stories aloud and were encouraged by the comments and compliments.
So here is to movie stars, imaginations, and colorful characters!
