Hello Class!

Today, you are going to read a story about Halloween here: http://www.5minuteenglish.com/oct29.htm

Then, you will write a scary story that is at least 150 words long on your blog, and find a scary picture to go with it.

You can use these prompts to start your story:

• Sofia and her friends were hanging out at the mall. On their way home, her friends dare her to walk through a run-down abandoned house they come across. She accepts the challenge! (Bad idea!) Her friends watch as she disappears through the door…

• Lucas painted a picture of a clown when he was a kid. His mom hung it in the living room and refuses to take it down. (Embarrassing!) Lately, he’s been noticing the clown’s eyes are following him. (Creepy!) One night while doing his homework, he snaps and pulls the painting off the wall. Behind it there’s a gaping hole and utter darkness…

Hello Class 803!

Today we are going to make a "voki". A voki is a computer character that you can create. It can talk and you can make it look any way you want. Have fun with it, and then post the link on to your blog. Please make it school appropriate! I will check them and if there is anything inappropriate, we will stay in the classroom and do other work next time.

Here is the website for making your voki:

Here is an example of a voki I made:
