Write a letter, from the point of view of a turkey, to your family.
Include reasons in the letter that your family should NOT eat the turkey for Thanksgiving dinner.
I love having students write from others' points of view, especially animals, so I love assigning this prompt. Also, my vegetarian self likes getting the students to think about their food from time to time!! :) I promise I'm not preaching...I don't want THAT parent phone call! Anyways, I didn't have a chance to read through them until today. Here were my two favorites:
(sorry the pictures are super blurry! I really have to remember to bring my camera to school--my phone isn't cutting it!)
PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!!! There are SO many different foods you could eat instead of me! You can eat potatoes, pie, cranberrys, NOT ME! Or how about we all be vegiterians for this time. Please, please, don't eat me. Turkeys don't need to be Thanksgiving food, how about you take the chickens insted. (That sounds like a good plan, don't you think?!) I will give you some time to think about this (or 2 days to be exact!) PLEASE DONT EAT ME!
Very scared and sad,
Turkey
Please don't eat me this year for thanks giving this year. I have lots of dreams when I grow up. I want to be a Professional turkey dancer. So if you eat I will never get to accomplish that career. that would be really sad right so if you want to eat me well PLEASE DONT!!!!!
Sincerely,
Your Turkey
I'm thinking next year we should do an actual writing project with this prompt...these are too funny!
