Every Friday, my students' warm up prompt is to write about any topic of their choice for 5 to 10 minutes. A few of my kids like to share their responses. Next to the 4:15 bell, that used to be my favorite part of Friday...until I heard Chris' topic of choice.
"Tonight, I'm going to watch What Not to Wear on TLC with my brother. I think Ms. Howell should go on What Not to Wear. She would have to throw out all her tomboy clothes and get her hair colored. She would also have to look at herself in the 360 degree mirror to see what she really looks like."
Sadly, I don't totally disagree. And to be completely honest, I was more enthused about Chris' ability to write four sentences that stayed on topic than I was offended by his attention to my fashion faux pas. In fact, we've got a persuasive writing assignment coming up pretty soon, and I've got a $5,000 idea for Chris' paper. Bring it on, Stacy and Clinton!
