• Pick up your composition book, or pull it out of your backpack. 
• Make sure you have your name and class period on the cover of your composition book.

1. Picture Prompt:  In your composition book or on a half-sheet of lined paper, write a response to the video  projected on the screen.  You could write a description, a commentary, a poem, a brief story, or whatever you're moved to write based on that picture.  Your response should be about a half-page or so long.  Give it a title and today's date.  
You could write about National Parks, camping, travel, the music you're hearing,  the beauty or value of nature --  anything you see or hear or feel as you watch.
