Writing Ideas

Where do writers get their ideas? From potatoes, of course! The Education Girlz transformed ordinary potatoes from their kitchen larder into characters full of personality. Nani the mermaid potato attended the prestigious University of the Pacific where she majored in "swim-ology". Minna the tennis champion potato attended Standford on an athletic scholarship. Both of these potatoes had distinguished careers and many published papers demonstrating the 6 traits of writing: voice (lots of it), conventions, word choice, organization, ideas, and sentence fluency. Unfortunately the potato pals sprouted and attracted flies, and so they were laid to rest after a very moving ceremony and a published obituary. RIP potato inspirations.
Minna the tennis playing potato rules the court!

Nani the mermaid potato enjoys her aquatic habitat.
Nani's casket was decorative and festive.

The sad day arrived and Lauren read her potato eulogy.
Minna was laid to rest in a practical orange shoe box
that sports a colorful tombstone and witty epitaph.
