Today you will begin or continue to write your short piece based on the prompt:
Imagine you woke up one day to find everyone around you - your family, your neighbors - have disappeared. Imagine what that looks like and feels like. Would you notice right away? Would you be happy, afraid, confused - maybe all three during your story telling. USE YOUR IMAGINATION and USE ALL FOUR SENTENCE TYPES to tell your story - you are working on SENTENCE FLUENCY to make your writing varied and interesting to read.
Today, you must also review your writing with the goal of finding opportunities to swap-out or add words from our Dystopian word wall.
