Writing Prompts Week 1
Write one at least one paragraph in your
Composition Notebook. You must write
the question.
Do
our opinions of
ourselves affect what
others think of us?
Our opinions of ourselves definitely
impact the way others view us. If I was not
confident in myself I would probably carry my
insecurities in full view of the world- timid
voice, slumped posture, little eye contact- and
the world would take in that information about
me and respond accordingly. People would
likely think that I wasn’t that important. After
all, I didn’t even seem to think I was
important! In life we communicate our
opinions so people better understand us. It
only makes sense that people would be
affected by our opinions on the key topic of
our identity.
Write one at least one paragraph in
your Composition Notebook. You
must write the question.
Describe
Freak physically
and socially.
The moment when Kevin calls Max
‘earthling,” you realize that Kevin is not from
this world- he is special, different, to some a
freak. Freak has a big imagination, a big brain
of knowledge, and an inexhaustible love of
learning. The only thing about Freak that is
pint sized is his stature. Freak has a disability
and something isn't quite right with his legs.
However, you get the sense that something as
insignificant as legs isn't going to hold someone
like him back.

Write one at least one paragraph in your
Composition Notebook. You must write the
question.
 Consider
the character of Tony D. in Chapter
6- “Close Encounter of the Turd Kind.” Write
a description of Tony, including how he might
think and act in other situations we have not
seen.
 Topic-
Arrogant
 Support- 1.He thinks he deserves someone
else’s fireworks
2. He insults Freak and Max but
thinks he is above being insulted when Freak
calls him a “cretin”
3. He walks with a “hippity hop”
strut to get attention.
 Concluding- Above the rules/ feels better
than Max and Freak
 Write
one at least one paragraph in
your Composition Notebook. You must
write the question.
 Write
about a time when you felt as
though you were being picked on for

no control. How were you treated?
