About My Name
Many names have special meaning or history. For example, the name Hannah means "favor" or "grace". The name Vito means "life".
Write about your own name. Who named you? What does your name mean? Does it have special ethnic or religious significance? Are you named after a family member? If you could change your name, would you? What would you change it to?
Your response should be ten lines long.

The Big Event
When a special event is on the horizon, people plan for it and get excited about it. Maybe it's a dance, an election, a family event, a party, a birthday, or an important sports game.
Think of a special event that you planned for and looked forward to that turned out much differently from what you expected. Write about what you expected would happen and what actually happened.
