Good day! Today is the first day of MEA Break and I hope you are enjoying your day. What am I doing? I'm already thinking about next week at school and the strategies we'll learn during writing that will improve our writing. While thinking about this, I thought there might be some readers of the blog that might want something to do beings the weather isn't the greatest today, and playing too many video games can get to be boring (Yes, there is such a thing as too much video games!). If this describes you (or even it it doesn't and you are just reading this because), consider this your lucky day because I'll introduce you a strategy I learned from the book Notebok Know-How by Aimee Buckner. It's called Writing from a Name. All you have to do is put your name or a family name on top of your page, and write about it. Here are some questions you may ask yourself if you can't get started right away. What do you like about your name? What don't you like about your name? Would you pick a different name for yourself? Are you named after someone? Who? How did you (or they if you are writing about someone else) get this name? Do you have a nickname? I could go on and on, but I'm sure you are ready to write and I want to get out and do some errands go running (yes, I still run in this crazy October weather). I also have some reading to do (finished Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days last night!) for my Master's class and that will take some time. So, enjoy writing from a name and enjoy your MEA Break. Don't forget to read, exercise and get some good quality sleep. Thanks for reading!
