2. Write Something That’ll Make Readers Smile
A few months ago, I was in a 2nd grade classroom and had the following comical conversation with two of the boys:
Boy 1: “Say this 2 times fast: two”
Me: “two two”
Boy 1: <laughing hysterically >
Me: “Do you know what a tutu is?”
Boy 1: “Yeah, it’s the dress that dance girls wear.”
Me: “Yes. Ballerinas wear tutus.”
Boy 2:”And the dance boys wear skinny jeans!”
Boy 1: “Yeah, I’m wearing skinny jeans today just like those dance boys!”
Boy 2: “I’m wearing skinny jeans too! I could be a dance boy in these pants.”
