Write a blog about your favorite food. Wait....don't just write what that food is, but use sensory details. Sensory details are touch/feel, smell, taste, see, hear when you eat that food.
So, if I was going to write about paletas de chile lolipops I can talk about the texture of the lolilop before all the chili dissolves, or the deep rich red color. It doesn't really have a smell but it has an intense flavor that goes from spicy to sweet.
BE CREATIVE.

Picture that Impacts you
Before you start...
Before you consider a picture that is not appropriate...
We check the blogs so keep it cool.
Your assignment today, find a picture on the internet that impacts you. Save it to your desktop then upload it using the "insert image" button. Tell why you chose this picture? How do you feel when you see it? Why did you choose this picture? Write at least SIX sentences.
Here is my image. I chose it because it symbolizes the strength and struggle of the Palestinian people and their fight for their rights and freedom in their own country. Their struggle has come at a huge cost, with thousands of Palestinians who have died over the 64 years fighting with Israel. The picture also represents the disadvantage the Palestinians also battle (the Palestinian is holding a rock, and the Israeli soldier is operating the tank).
