Extra Credit!!!! Our First Ever Creative Writing Contest!!!!–Mary Had a Leg of Lamb
I’m always looking for new types of posts on the blog. Last year, when we read “Lamb to the Slaughter” we had a blog post where we wrote parodies of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” using the plot of “Lamb to the Slaughter”. I’ve decided to take that one step further this year. We are going to have a creative writing contest using this same concept. Write a parody of a song or poem in which to tell the story of “Lamb to the Slaughter”. You could use Mary Had a Little Lamb or something else (Perhaps “The Lamb Not Bakin’” instead of “The Road Not Taken”). I know you guys are creative enough to do this. If I get at least 10 submissions, I will pick the best three (I may even get another teacher to help me judge so it will be fair.) If I get less than 10 I’ll only pick the top two. The winners will get a GREAT reward–on the upcoming Short Story Essay Test there are three questions. You will only have to do two! That’s only the winning three parodies. Contest ends Thursday night so that I can announce the winners in class on Friday so you know if you have to do two or three essay questions. Have fun and be creative!
BTW, this will NOT count as a regular post for the week. This is for extra credit.
