"A reader
lives a thousand lives before he dies...
The man who never
reads lives only one."

Precious Writings

We have been working really hard in my 7th grade class with using descriptive words and being extremely detailed. I have a few students who have been having a great time with these activities and seem to thoroughly enjoy playing around with their words. This particular student sought me down before school just to turn this paper in. She was incredibly proud of her hard work. The topic was why it was important to over come your fears and her final body paragraph reads as follows:

You can get inspired in many wonderful ways. It makes you proud because you have accomplished your goal or method. It's like walking up the mountain without resting or stopping and turning back to the past. If feels beautiful in many ways. It is like waking up from an enchanted sleep, then you step outside, feel the wind blowing on your face, birds singing and the shiny, yellow sun rising.
