Blog Post Suggestions

Describe your group of friends.
It’s fun to have friends. Friends can be people you meet at school, in a sport, in a church group, or in another activity. Your cousins and siblings and pets can be your friends.
Explain what your group of friends is like. Pretend that you are writing this for someone who has never met them. What do you like to do for fun? Who is the funniest? Who is the most daring? Who always has the best snacks?

RAFT Short Response Exemplar
Explain why the theme, “Be careful what you wish for” applies to this story. Use evidence from the story to support your answer.
The theme, “Be careful what you wish for,” applies to the story, “The Monkey’s Paw” because the characters end up regretting the wishes they make.
For example, when Mr. and Mrs. White wish for five hundred dollars their son Herbert is killed in an accident at work. The money was given to them as a death benefit check. If they hadn’t wished for the money, their son would have still been alive.
Therefore, you can see that the theme, “Be careful what you wish for” applies to the “The Monkey’s Paw” story because Mr. and Mrs. White end up regretting the wish they make.
