Bite Size Writing Assignment: Why I Love ___________.

This is the week that we celebrate Valentine's Day. This lovely holiday is most often celebrated by giving cards, candy, or flowers.

Why not have your little writers give the gift of words to someone they love?

Have your student(s) finish the title above by filling in the blank with the name of a loved one. Some of the people that come to mind are: grandma, my sister, my dad or mom, and a whole lot of other people I love.

After the subject has been identified, have your student(s) sit down and write. The assignment can be a list of things he or she loves about the identified person, a poem, or a short essay. No rules on this one. Expressions of love are personal and should be from the heart.

The point is to write and deliver this "love" letter by Valentine's Day.
