Author's Note: This story was a group prompt for the beginning sentence and then we filled in the rest. I left it hanging at the end,and I left it open for the readers to fill in the rest of the story, make it your own. Put yourself into the story and if you add onto it then you should leave it to me in a comment so that I can read it.
I go home and check my messages on my phone just like I do every day after I get home from school. When I get to the third one I freeze......... My mom just sent me a message saying that my little brother and my step dad died in a car crash. My step dad, who was more like a dad to me than my real dad ever was. As I listen to this I'm sitting on my bed, not crying yet because number one: I don't believe that it's true, and number two: because I am in shock that anything has happened to them. I call my mom and start yelling all she can make out of my words is: Mommy, what's wrong! ARE YOU SERIOUS! NO MOMMY! THEY CAN'T BE GONE! I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! STOP LYING, MOMMY, IT'S NOT NICE! While she is responding I don't even focus on her words, because she is sobbing and I know that there is no way she could be kidding; she would never lie about something like this.

Space
Author's Note: This is written in acrostic poem form, but is used in a paragraph.
Super crazy outer land that which we are trying to discover.
People think that it is an amazing place, but if we only know little information, how can they know that it is amazing?
Almost scary that there might be other life forms living out there,
Changing our theories about everything if they do
Exist.

Life
Author's Note: This piece is about what a great privilege life is, and how even though some people may take it for granted, I will always remember that even if something is bad, I will get through it and everything will turn out okay.
I think that life is the best thing to happen to anyone the best thing that anyone could ever ask for. Without life there would be no people. And if there were no people than there would be no one on Earth, and then we would not be here today. Without the gift of life, which is a gift, because some people or even babies, don’t get to experience life because of illnesses or injuries. I think that we as people should be grateful for the life that we have and that we don’t have to spend it in a hospital. Some people take life for granted and that is what makes us so greedy, when even the best of us don’t realize how bad life really could be.

Food
Author's Note: This piece is written as a variation of a writing warm-up we call a word train. Basically you just pick a starting word and then write the next word that comes into your head.
When I think of food, I automatically think of being hungry. When I think of being hungry it reminds me of eating lunch. When I think of eating lunch I think of being with friends. When I think of being with friends I think of being loud. Loudness reminds me of one of my friends who’s name is Mada. She reminds me of playing one of my favorite sports which is volleyball. Volleyball reminds me of my birthday because my number is 4 which is the day that my birthday is. My birthday reminds me of presents; Presents remind me of Christmas. Christmas is a reminder of happiness. Happiness reminds me of food because when I think of food I am happy because it makes me feel good.

Winter
Author's Note: This piece is was written as my informative opinion on winter.
When I think of winter, I think of snow, and cold and holidays. Some people hate winter, mostly adults, because they look past the fact that basically it is the happiest time of the year for most people. I think that the adults need to take a look at it through a kids eye and see how exciting it really can be. Families are all together, and you get to put up decorations, and just celebrate, even if you are not going to celebrate a holiday there’s no excuse not to get together with your family. All you have to do is worry about being with your family, not shoveling, or scraping ice off of your car in the morning. It is a time of happiness and joy. And I have to say I feel sorry for those people who hate winter.

Valentine's Day
Author's Note: This poem is written about traditional Valentine's Day gifts, but how they are when they aren't playing a part in the lovey dovey role of Valentine's Day. It is a modified format of a traditional Diamante poem (Diamond Poem)
Flowers that bloom in the summer, spring, fall, and even sometimes winter.
These plants can be colorful and beautiful, sometimes exotic and rare,
When I think of flowers I think of dark green stems, so tall and full of leaves,
Sometimes chocolate we think of as sweet; sometimes we think of it as bitter.
Chocolate, only shared on Valentines’ day, when we should be sharing it every day, if you’ve had a bad day pick up some chocolate.
Flowers and chocolates the perfect valentine’s day gift.
