Time for some creative writing
Several aliens have landed in your backyard.
Write a list of 20 adjectives to describe the aliens.
Describe the special powers the aliens have.
As you make friends with the aliens, you learn that they come from a planet made entirely of gold. Write the dialogue between you and the aliens as they describe their planet and how they live.
The aliens are willing to give you as much gold as you want if you can provide them with an object that is unique and has functions that will help them during their travels. you do not think you have an item that will suit their needs so you grab the first thing you can reach – a ???? (you choose the object). They are interested in your object and want you to explain how it could be used. As the aliens will never return to a planet they have visited, you feel you could “stretch” the truth in your explanation.
List six different ways that your object could be useful to the aliens.
Illustrate your writing using Toondoo. Create three single pane cartoons
- one of your aliens
- one of the object
- one which shows one of the ways your object will help the aliens
- Embed each of your panes into your blog post
Some objects you could choose from if you’re stuck for ideas
toilet brush, frying pan, ice cream scoop, tongs, vegetable peeler, laundry basket, soap, bathmat, cookbook, breadbox, ice cube tray, broom,, vacuum cleaner, table cloth, fabric softener, light bulb, bulletin board, ironing board, toilet paper.
