In September our class wrote five writing prompts with varied topics to improve our writing skills, they were as crazy as “what could happen to make people into cannibles?” and as tame as, “if a cop were to come to your school undercover, give some tips on how they would fit in.” My least favourite writing came from the prompt “If aliens took one actor away because they thought movies were real life, who would they take?” And this was our first one, but mine isn’t great.

My favourite writing of mine came from the prompt “if a cop were to come to your school undercover, give some tips on how they would fit in.” I am quite proud of this writing and think it might even be my best writing of the year.

Play the saxophone, I mean it, you don’t have to be good, but just show up to band class and play the saxophone and nobody will suspect you. You can wear whatever you want, even if you wore a cop outfit people will think you’re joking but pick up a saxophone and you will just be accepted. You should also play a sport, probably soccer or hockey are the most common at Seycove. Don’t be a sports star though, because then people will suspect you, be a little less than average at sports, and play the saxophone. You also have to hunch, if you look around the school everybody is hunched over from gaming, that brings up another good point, start gaming. Usually a good place to start would be first person shooters, Call of Duty, Halo, Destiny, or Counter Strike are all good games to play to fit in, play Xbox, not PlayStation, and always have your phone in your pocket. Those are the basics, now for some more subtle stuff, you need to make it look like you’re kind of struggling in school, not enough to need a tutor or anything like that but just a little struggle, even if you were great in school and got straight A’s, don’t do that here. There’s many keys to fitting in, but you always have to play the gosh darn saxophone.

I really enjoyed these prompts and hope we write like this again, it is fun and entertaining and you can really see growth between my first one and my last one.
