This weeks essay is to get students to compare themselves to a fictional or real "famous person." I gave them some examples which I attributed to other students. I find if I tell them other students came up with the ideas, they get really competitive and try to think outside the box. Because they are trying to be original, they tend to come up with more descriptive, detailed essays because they enjoy what they are writing.
Here are the the examples:
"One of my students compared himself to Spiderman. He put on a uniform and helped others on the internet. He used the internet as his web and traveled around trying to help students with homework and vanquishing people who put up inappropriate comments on news forums."
"Another one of my students compared himself to Smegal and her cellphone was her precious. She worshipped it and was always rubbing it and talking to it. One day her teacher took the phone away and she was devastated. She ended up helping the teacher everyday trying to get on his good side by cleaning the class, doing her homework, and other tasks. Outwardly she praised his teacher, but inwardly she was cursing the teacher and wished for his death."
By the by, one of my students wanted to compare himself to Stalin. That should be interesting.
