Hurray for Snow Days!

ARE YOU STUCK INSIDE BECAUSE IT'S SNOWING TOO HARD OR IT'S TOO COLD and Mom won't let you go out and play?
ARE YOU BORED?

Grab a pencil.
Study the photo below. (Yep, that's ME. I LOVE the snow!!)

Put yourself in my shoes (or snowshoes or boots). Answer these questions in writing:

Where are you?
What is the weather like? What's the forecast?
How did you get there?
What are you thinking?
How do you feel? (warm, cold, happy, excited, anxious)
What happened to your gloves?
What are you holding in your hand?
What will you do next?

Now, pick a starting place from your answers above and begin your story. If you get stuck, see if you can head out into the snow. Hopefully, the snowflakes will offer up some inspiration.
