2. A Flurry of Fun
- Create an image that describes an event, memory, or activity that has been important to you since starting school in September. This could be an activity during school, outside of school, or during winter break.
Use a snowflake for your image. You can draw your image, or use magazine cut outs as well to create a collage. Your image must be colored.
You must describe your image (or images) in one paragraph in your journal. Why did you chose this image(s)? What makes it so important? This is a formal writing piece, so make sure to use appropriate tone and language when describing your important event.
