If you've been doing my WordSmithery for awhile now, you've hopefully discovered that one of the best parts is sharing what you've written with each other. When I teach creative writing at our co-op, we take 15 minutes at the beginning of each session to share what we've written during the week at home. In the home setting, we each write in our journals and then share what we've written right away. (And yes, I do the assignments too!)
This space is now dedicated to a broader sharing of writing. Anytime you want, post something in the comments here that your kids (or you) have written based on my WordSmithery lessons, whether it's in the course of the lesson itself, in a journal writing, or for an assignment. If you can, write the week number from which it comes. My goal is eventually to have samples for each week, so that your kids can hear other kids' writings, too!
If you just want to post something that your student has written outside of "class," that's fine, too! But do share!
(See the comments for examples!)

Week 4, Self-Portrait Exercise by Duncan
My hair is soft like a leopard's fur and messy like a lion's mane.
My eyes are blue like rushing waters.
My teeth are white as snow.
My heart holds happiness that is red as a cardinal.
I live in a zoo
and I eat bananas.
Week 4, Journal Writing Days 1 and 2 by Laurel
Happiness is pink, red, and yellow and tastes like cake and pink lemonade. It smells like fresh, juicy watermelon and looks like a sunny spring afternoon.
Love is a deep red and tastes like dark chocolate. It smells like a slow-burning candle. It feels like a warm fire and sounds like slow violin music. Love is a red rose

Boredom is white. Rice, cleaning fluid, empty brain, mute. Boredom is a blank page.
