What’s your word goal & novel about?

What’s your word goal & novel about?

My word goal is 3,500 . I’d like to know yours, so I know/have an idea what i wan’t to do next year. My story’s about a girl that is in middle school with her best friend but the bully Roxane does every thing in her power to stop her from succeeding in any way. Her goal is to stop the bully & step up to her but it’s hard with all the people Roxane has on her side to team up on Skyleir (main character) and Brittany (supportive character with same goal) !!! Can’t WAIT to get started !! Are you ready to start?

Ode to Alpha

Ode to Alpha

For the last two weeks, we have been talking about transforming our writing by adding our personal stories, feelings, and experiences. As a final product, each students wrote an Ode poem about something in nature, someone they love, or something that they feel very strongly about.

Here are some of the other writing techniques that the students said would make their poetry writing even better:
> proper conventions – spelling, grammar, punctuation, capitalization
> details – descriptive words, 5 senses, good word choice
> Interesting
> Focused on one topic
> Shares Evokes emotion
> Figurative language – metaphor and simile
> Onomatopoeia
> Alliteration

We are proud to share our odes with you! Enjoy!
