Week 36
The Day It Rained Chocolate Pudding
Contributed by Barb Martin
Pretend that you woke up this morning and heard rain outside,
hitting your windows, pounding on the roof. It is still dark out, so it takes
you a minute to notice that the "rain" coming down is a funny dark
color. You can't tell what it is, so you quietly make your way to the outside
door, open it and smell---chocolate! You step out the door and slowly put a hand
into the stuff. It is chocolate! Chocolate pudding is raining out of the sky!
What will you do? Who
will you tell? What will happen when you meet your friends? Make a list of all
the possibilities you can think of, then choose your best ideas to write your
story.
