Writing Timeline

On Tuesday’s class, Lacy asked us to go home and create a writing timeline. She told us to think back over our lives and try to pinpoint some times where writing played a big role. These events could be school assignment to little things you remember that were not school related. She wanted us to display them, in order, on a timeline.

                As I was thinking back over my life of writing, little memories popped up that I decided to put on my timeline

                The first thing that came to mind was learning how to write the alphabet. Just about every kid remembers those days in kindergarten, writing on those strange papers with the lines that looked like roads. You had to write so big because the lines were so far apart.

                The next thing that popped into my head was writing letters. I distinctly remember writing letters to a pen pal and letters to Santa every Christmas. My pen pal in third grade was from Virginia and we would write to each other about every month. The one letter I remember most was a valentine I got from her. It was folded in half and looked like a mouse on the outside but when you opened it, it was a heart. I can’t believe I still remember that.
