Creative Writing

During the week 21 students learned about poems, fables, short stories, and wrote a 3,000 word story. At the end of the week they then wrote about their countries, favorite places, along with a rocking rap.

Here are some examples:

Mountains,

wind blowing in my hair

watching an eagle fly above.

Feeling free from all,

with my thoughts,

but not alone.

Being close

to the clouds

thinking about the meaning.

-Mary Geladze, Georgia 17

A clouded sky, no sun,

Only a few quiet birds

Crossing the sky.

The ending of July,

A girl, sleeping and dreaming

In sunflowers.

Sunday morning,

Granny picking mushrooms

In a foggy green forest.

Butterflies are cool

beauty burning

so high flying

sea shining

waves padding

breeze chasing them!

stars

greatness falling

wishes wishing, in the distance twinkling

Fable

The Tiger and the Mouse

Once upon a time, there was a tiger. As the tiger

was moving through the trees, stalking his prey, he

accidentally got a splinter stuck in his right paw.

Now the tiger was very feared across the jungle,

so he went to the gorilla and ordered him to help,

but the gorilla’s fingers were too big to pull the

splinter out. The tiger then went to the snake,

but the snake had no fingers to grab the splinter.

After asking all of the most powerful animals in

the jungle, the tiger finally gave up and sat down,

yelling in pain. Suddenly, a mouse passed by and

said: “I can help you tiger, but only if you stop

hunting small creatures!”. The tiger agreed and the

mouse pulled the splinter out. Suddenly, the tiger

grabbed the mouse. “Stop! This wasn’t our deal!”

yelled the mouse. “You should never trust a tiger” –

the tiger said before swallowing the mouse.
