Writing Prompts for this week are now posted online! (Link below)

Here are two of dozens of writing prompts for this week:

In 1784, Ben Franklin wrote a letter to his daughter protesting against the decision to choose the eagle as the symbol of the United States. He thought the eagle was a cruel, predatory bird, and preferred the turkey instead. Suppose you had to choose an animal as the symbol of your class. It can’t be an eagle, or a symbol your school already uses. What animal would you choose? Why that one?

In 1790, lifeboats were first used to rescue people from a sinking ship. Make a list of the survival gear you think should be kept on a lifeboat.
