February sees the birth of jeans, a national park, the Supreme Court, and in Japan they’re throwing beans. And then a cow flew a plane…so be sure you don't miss any of this month's writing prompts!
Here's a sample from this week's collection:
February 4: Today is Setsubun (Bean Throwing Day) in Japan. To drive out evil spirits and prepare for spring, roasted beans are scattered around the house, temple, or shrine. While you scatter them, you chant, "Devils out, happiness in!” Then you collect one bean for every year of your age and eat it. So beans are good luck food in Japan. What is your good-luck food? Why do you think of that food as bringing good luck?

January 25:
The first winter Olympic Games opened in Chamonix, France, in 1924. It began the process of popularizing winter sports for ordinary people; prior to then, only very rich people (or those who lived in the mountains) skied. Do you like or participate in a winter sport, or would you like to learn one? Which one? Why that one? (If you are not interested in winter sports, tell why you feel as you do.)
The novelist W. Somerset Maugham (pronounced MÆHM) was born in 1874. He once wrote: “It is bad enough to know the past; it would be intolerable to know the future.” What about the future would you not want to know? Why?

Two of our favorite prompts from the coming week's collection are:
Hector Hugh Munro, who wrote amusing stories under the pen name Saki and was born in 1870, once wrote, “In baiting a mousetrap with cheese, always leave room for the mouse.” What do you think he meant by that?
In 1941, jazz and blues singer Lena Horne released her first hit song, “Stormy Weather.” She had a long and very successful career, and worked hard to create new opportunities for black and women singers. Many of her songs were very sexy, but she once said, “I just sing those songs, I don’t live them.” What do you think she meant by that?
