WRITE - the tree

Okay - here is another WRITE prompt. You were walking through what you thought was an empty forest when you came upon this. Do you go in? Does someone come out? Why is it there? Why are YOU there? Write a poem, paragraph, or story about this. Share it here or on our FACEBOOK PAGE! :)

Read - 100 Best Novels

How's everyone doing on their reading?  I finished the Uglies series (Uglies, Pretties, and Specials). It was fine - not the best I have ever read, but decent. I'd give it 3 stars out of 5. Maybe I am too far removed from being a teenager to relate to it (although I did enjoy other teen-centric dystopian novels such as The Hunger Games...).


I was checking out this link:http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/ and I thought it might inspire us to look at classics, or at the very least see which ones we've already read and maybe be inspired to read more! (also be sure to click on the Radcliffe's list too: http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/radcliffes-rival-100-best-novels-list/ 


A few that I want to read:
Catcher in the Rye
1984
Catch-22
Atlas Shrugged (actually tried to read this once and never was able to finish it)


And some that I have read and can recommend highly:
Lord of the Flies
The Fountainhead
To Kill a Mockingbird
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Fahrenheit 451
Watership Down

ART: Doodle. COLOR

source: Pinterest

Let's take the doodle a step further this week and turn it into an ART challenge! Go get yourself a box of crayons and create a doodled "landscape" with ground and sky using just lines of color. Make sure the "ground" is distinctive from the sky. 

In this example, the ground and sky are two color temperatures: Cool and Warm. 

Cool colors include: blue, purple, green, and everything in between. 

Warm colors include: red, orange, and yellow, and every variation thereof. 

You can choose a single color family or just go for it. It doesn't have to be huge either! Feel free to do this on a post-it note. But definitely try it! And post your results here or on our Facebook Page!! :)
