Writing on Demand: Week Two
Prompt One: The article "Would you rather start school later in the morning?" describes one high school where students start class at 7:30 am just like at Lakeview Middle School. Many people quoted in the article believe that this is too early for school to start, while others like school starting early because it means school gets out early.
After you read the article, decide what time school should start at Lakeview Middle School. School will still last seven hours, no matter what time we start class. Write a letter to Dr. Kiefer explaining why you think this is the best time for the school day to begin. Feel free to quote the article or use some of the ideas the author expresses to explain your position.

Prompt Two: The image above tells a story without saying a word. You may not know who the individuals sitting on the sidewalk are, you may not know who the man spraying the liquid is, and you may not even know the country this picture was taken it, but it still evokes an emotion.
Choose one person in the photograph and create a story about the events surrounding this photograph from their point of view. Maybe you'll be the police officer, the student covering his or her face, or a bystander that is watching.
In your narrative explain who you are, where you are, why you're there, and everything that you saw and heard take place that day.
