From: susanf34@comcast.net *NO ARCHIVE* Title: 1: What I Think by William V. Author: Susan E-mail: susanf34@comcast.net Classification: a unique boy's random thoughts Rating: G Archive: No archive without permission. Disclaimer: On paper, this character belongs to the bigwigs at 1013. In my head, he belongs to me. Author's notes at the end. Summary: William gets a new assignment from his fifth grade teacher. ************************************************************ What I Think by William V. by Susan ~~~~ Assignment 1: What I think about journal writing... So, I go to your Language Arts class today thinking we're going to be doing the usual stuff we do on Tuesdays, and you tell us that we have to start keeping a journal of our thoughts and dreams and other junk like that and that we should write in it once a day. Then you tell us that you're going to be doing a quick check of these journals every day to make sure we're actually writing in them, and that each week you'll be giving us a specific topic to write about. Do you have any idea how hard that's going to be, Mr. Branson? Oh well, at least you gave us a topic for the first week that's not too bad. Assignment 1: Write down your thoughts about journal writing, what the title of your journal is, and why you decided to give it that particular name. Since both my parents are always telling me that I'm a unique thinker, I was going to call my journal "What I Think", but then that sounded kind of boring to me so I tried adding my name to it. That was a little better, but then I remembered that Will Kelley's also in this class, and I didn't want you to get our journals mixed up with each other so I decided on this title instead. What I Think by William V. Not only is it a whole lot shorter than writing Van de Kamp, but I also thought it sounded kind of professional to have my pen name be William V. So there you have it. That's the story of how I came up with my title and what I think about this assignment. I know it's not very exciting or clever, but it's all I could come up for now, and who knows? Maybe I'll change it to something else later on. I did notice something interesting when I was writing just now though. I already used the words "what I think" without even realizing it. Hey, maybe I could end every journal entry with that line, you know, kind of like how some celebrities have a certain catch-phrase they're famous for. So, what do YOU think, Mr. B.? Do you think it would be a good catch phrase to use, or do you think it's lame? I think it sounds pretty cool, and as much as I hate to admit it to you...writing in this journal might turn out to be kind of cool too. I just hope I can find enough things to write about. So, what's our next assignment going to be anyway? I hope it's writing about sports we like because I can really tell you a lot about basketball and baseball. Until next time, that's what I think... William V. March 8, 2011 End notes: William must be a great student because he's already been working on more assignments. |
