English 2B QuickWrites

Introduction to Quick Writes

As we go through our course together, we're going to stop from time-to-time to have a short, informal writing practice. Why would I do this to you? Because the more practice you get with writing, the better and easier it will become.

I know writing can be stressful, but these will be short (1-2 paragraphs) pieces based off images I'll provide for you. There's no research required, there's no extra reading to do, and the prompts are very informal. These writings are designed to take you 15 minutes or less to complete.

Please be as wildly creative as you'd like with your responses! Let yourself have fun and set your imagination free! When you have selected the Quick Write, you will write your response in EDGENUITY submission box.

CRITERIA

This is a fun and creative writing prompt meant for me to get to know you and your writing style. Please have fun with it, but do be sure of a few simple requirements:

Your submission should be no less than 75 words.
Use complete sentences and appropriate grammar.
Include responses to each question in the prompt within your response.
Be sure it is appropriate in content for school.

Quick Write #1

It’s a Goal!

How would you like to play soccer underwater, surrounded by fish, rays, and sharks?

Look at the picture. Imagine that you are one of the following people:

one of the underwater players
a sports commentator broadcasting live from the Underwater Games Tournament
a salesperson making a pitch on Shark Tank to get financial support for your new underwater soccer equipment business

Then, write a paragraph describing the scene from that person’s perspective.

Quick Write #2

A Trip to the Future

Imagine you’re going to time travel one hundred years into the future. Describe what you expect to see and do on your trip.
