Imagine that you are on a plane and sitting next to you is that one really famous celebrity that you cannot stand. Every time you see this person in the media (t.v., movies, TMZ, etc.), you just want to smack the smug look right off his/her face, and now you have to sit next to this person for a twelve hour flight. Who is this person? What do you talk about (because you know that s/he will engage you in conversation)? What happens? Be creative and descriptive.

Let's see how descriptive you can be. I want you to pick someone from College Prep English Class and describe them. However, I don't want you to tell who you are describing. You should include their features (eye color, height, etc.) and personality traits (loves cats, etc.). BE POLITE and RESPECTFUL! No making fun of anyone.

Today you get to lie and write about it. On a separate sheet of paper, free write on things you wish you had done or could do. Mix the possible (I wish I could visit the Grand Canyon) with the impossible (I wish I could be invisible). Once done with that, write a story or poem claiming that you did do all that you said you wish you had done or could do. Example: "I published a book when I was thirty and the book became an international best seller. After that I took up ballet and became an accomplished ballerina in only three weeks. I am appearing at the Met on Saturday." This is only a short example. Be sure that your example is of a "healthy" length.

Happy Holidays, everyone! Enjoy your last day of school before break. I won't be back until 1/7. If the weather in Florida is too nice, maybe I won't be back at all. Nah...I'll be back.

Blog today about your expectations for the break. What are your plans? I will be golfing...and golfing...and golfing... :)
