Flashback Friday - Today you will revisit one of the weekly activities we have discussed this month. Choose one of the following prompts. TEDTalks are given about topics that people are passionate about. Choose a topic you are passionate about and write 1 page about why you like it and why it is important to you. Think about what you can say to get other people interested in your topic as well. Choose one of the quotes (it does not have to be the same one you got last time). Write a 1 page story about a young person who was in a difficult situation, but because they followed the wise words in the quote, he or she was able to overcome it. Think back to the two situations with the pledge of allegiance. Write a 1 page letter to the principal expressing your opinion on the topic. Be sure to give at least three good arguments as to why your opinion is right. Remember you are writing to a principal so your writing should reflect that. Think about someone in your life that matters to you. Write a 1 page letter to that person telling them all the reasons why they matter, and why they are important to you. Give them examples of how they have effected your life in the past.
