Taylor's Day Photo Essay

For writing, we've been writing Gone Mad! stories. They're our version of Mad Libs. Today the class is beaming crazy stories to one another. After Samantha beams me her story, I quickly launch the application Gone Mad! . I select Sam's story and then enter information. It asks me for nouns, body parts, adverbs, and more. After I put in the silliest words I can think of, I tap "Go!" Then I can read Sam's story about her pet tuna fish that couldn't find the recipe because it was daintily tucked under its earlobe! Silly, huh?

I've written some of my own crazy stories as well. I wrote it in Memo Pad following a special format. I leave out some important words and replace them with brackets and the kinds of word that need to be put there. For example, I've written, "I looked all over for my heavy [noun]."
