You may visit exciting new
places or spend time seeing family on summer vacation. Wherever you travel,
you're bound to hear: "It's hot!" or "It's rainy." You
might even hear, "It's August! Why is it so cool outside?" Something
everyone in this world has in common is the weather. "A dark and stormy
night" is a famous story beginning from a novel (Paul Clifford) written in
the 1800's, and setting a scene using weather is no less important in fiction
and non-fiction books today. Try these writing challenges anytime of the year
for some weather writing fun.
Sizzling Summer
It's the hottest day on
record. Write one page about the hottest day of the year without using the word
"hot." It's harder than you think.
Brrrrr!
Icy, snowy, cold. Think about
the coldest you've ever felt in your life. Write one paragraph to make readers
shiver.
Falling Leaves
Whoosh, it's windy! Why do
some leaves fall and others don't? Choose a tree in your yard or near your
school. Can you find out what kind of tree it is? Do the leaves change and fall
in the autumn? Write an autumn poem about this tree.
Flower Shower
Spring, green, rain. What
puts the bounce in spring for you? Do you splash in the puddles or avoid them?
Do flowers make you smile or make you sneeze? It's the first day of spring and
you're going to plant a garden. Write a description about this new spring day
and details about what you're planting and why.
