What's the Word Wednesday - LITERALLY

 

OMG! Did you see my dad crumping? I literally died on the spot.

If you did, your friends would be visiting you in the cemetery and you probably wouldn't care that your dad did something silly.

The correct word is figuratively. You are using a figure of speech to add feeling to your words.

What is crumping? (also spelled krumping or krumpin) Crumping is a form of urban dance. To see kids curmping click on the link below.

Write a story and have one of the characters use a common figure of speech. For more fun, add a scene where some kids are crumping.

Navy Seals - Writing Prompt

According to information on their official website:
"Navy SEALs are a unique breed of warrior who conduct special operations in any environment, but who are uniquely trained and equipped to operate from, around and in maritime areas. SEALs take their name from the environments in which they are trained to operate: sea, air and land. Their small highly trained teams usually work quietly at night conducting some of the nation's most important missions. SEALs are constantly deployed throughout the world to protect national interests."


Write a story about a Navy Seal and a successful mission he takes part in.

When writing your story consider the following:  

• Who is he?
• Where did he grow up?
• Why did he become a Navy Seal?
• What is his mission?
• What special training does he need?
• What problems will he encounter and how will he solve them?

Your story can be written for very young children, teens, or adults. Try adapting your story for various audiences. For extra points, insert humor in your story.

That's Debatable - Writing Prompt

 

Debate   

To discuss a question by considering opposed arguments

 

Last night people all across America tuned in to watch the Presidential Debate. The purpose for the debate was to clarify their position on issues important to voters and to convince people that their viewpoint is correct.

 

Write a story wherein two of the main characters have very different beliefs on a subject important to both of them.

 

Suggestions: Use dialogue to move the story forward.  Show how the characters feel about the subject by the way they say things. Do they stand straight or do they lean toward one another and use gestures?

What's the Word Wednesday - Too Many Twos

Two -Too-To!

 

Say the words fast and they almost sounds like a train whistle.

 

Do you find that your writing goes off the track as you struggle to make the right choice? Never fear. The solution to your problem is here.

 

Two  is a number. One, Two, Three.  May I have two cookies?

 

Too can be an adverb as in, "Billy has a stomach ache. He ate too many cookies.

or

Too can be a synonym for the word also.  Jenny wanted some cookies, too.

 

To can be used as a preposition as in, "Billy went to the store. His favorite cookies were on sale." 

or

To can be an infinitive phrase as in, "Jenny planned to eat more vegetables in the future.

 

Write a story using the words two, too, and to.  Storee would love to hear from you. Post a note about your writing, ask questions, or share your writing any time.
