Jack the Jackal by Michael
One sunny day while I was watching TV, I heard a strange noise. At first I thought that's a baby and he/she was crying. But when I saw what it was, I got really frightened! It was a jackal and it was wailing loudly and sounded like a baby.
It was
scared of me. It couldn't move it, because it had hurt it's leg. I tried to
help it, but it bit me. I wanted to help this poor jackal. I gave him some food
and I named it Jack. I helped him. But now Jack wanted to live with me.
Now Jack
is 5 years old, and he's very strong. One day I was alone with Jack and I saw a
wolf. Jack rushed and killed him. He protected me! He is my hero!!!!

Hello Spring! Time for Creativity!
The first day of spring is usually around the 20th of March. It's also called the Vernal Equinox. The season actually got its name because the longer days and warmer weather cause flowers and plant life to "spring" up.
Spring weather in the northern hemisphere is drastically different than weather in the southern hemisphere. The traditional springtime weather patterns pick up.
The wind's usually kick up in the spring. It rains more and the air warms up.
What about a creative writing exercise or a study of
how spring is celebrated around the world?
