“The Perfect Pet”
Some people like dogs as pets, some like cats, and others prefer birds, snakes, fish, rabbits, pigs, horses, or other animals.
What animal is the perfect pet? What does it look like? How does its fur or skin feel? What does it eat? How would this pet help humans? Does it make any sounds or weird noises? It is perfectly fine to use your imagination and create a new pet that no one has ever seen before.
Please write a short but interesting story about your perfect pet. Try to describe your idea of a perfect pet so that your reader can picture it.
- First, write a rough draft on loose leaf. Please skip lines for the rough draft. Your rough draft should be AT LEAST one page (skipping lines) but more than one page is probably better.
- Read through your draft. Use colored pencils to REVISE your rough draft. You should make at least five improvements to your rough draft.
- On a new sheet of loose leaf, write a final copy. You should take your time and use your best handwriting for your final copy. DO NOT SKIP LINES! Please try to fit your final copy on the FRONT only of the loose leaf.
- Neatly staple your final copy on top of your rough draft.
HINT: Your rough draft and final copy are due IN CLASS! Please get right to work and do not waste time in class. This assignment is worth AT LEAST 10 points, probably more.
