W.T. Melon's Writers' Workshop:
Writing tips !
"How come teachers call it Writers' Workshop
when we only work and never get to shop?"
"And don't forget to Spot your i's and stick a Spot at the end of your sentences."
"To, two, or too. There are two too many to's to choose."
"The spelling rules says i before e. But Albert Einstein broke that rule twice just writing his name."
"I've been so busy, I can't think of anything to write about."
"Why are reading, writing, and aritmetic called the three R's when only one of them starts with R?"
"When I write a story, I like sticking etc. on the end, so my teacher thinks I know a lot more than I do..."
"Teachers tell me to mind my p's and q's. But which one is which?"
"I always use my worst handwriting when I write a story. That way my teacher can't tell what a crummy speller I am."
"The teacher told us to write an SA, but I don't know what SA stands for!"
"Never trust a student who looks you square in the belly."
One way to spruce up your handwriting is to use one of these t crosses or i dots. (click here) Better yet, make up your own. Teachers will think you are brilliant.
