Quick Write: What is one THING you are thankful for?

Today we will discuss our next writing piece: 101 Things I am Thankful For!

Here are the requirements:

• Come up with a title besides “101 Things I am Thankful For.”
  For example: “101 Little Things in Life,” “101 Excuses to Wake Up Early,” “Why I Love Life.”
• This assignment is about details. Don’t list things; write the details about the things you’re thankful for.
  For Example: Don’t write “My dog.” Instead, write “Getting licked on my face by my dog when I get home from school.” “When my dog runs to fetch the ball.”
• Break your poem into 4 stanzas of 25 lines, and 1 stanza of just 1 line. The 1-line stanza should be something really important.
• Do not number your lines!
