Extra Credit

"What's your favorite word?  Mine is defenestrate.  Look it up!  Pretend YOUR favorite word has been selected to be removed from the dictionary.  You've been given a three-minute audience with a Congressional panel to plead for the word's continued survival.  What case can you make for a word in three minutes?"                  Thanks to http://writingfix.com/classroom_tools/dailypromptgenerator.htm

"What would they say? Write a piece where you wake up (or something) and find your favorite characters staring at you. What would they do? How does your day pass? Let your imagination flow."
