Only one minute before school ends.
*Ring! Ring! Ring! *
I
closed my neon green 2 1/2 inch 3 ringed binder and quickly placed it into my
Sponge Bob roller backpack. My foot was halfway out the door as I was so eager
to get to my locker.
“Hey, Caitlyn could you come here for a second?”
Pretending
not to hear that call I went along to my locker.
“Caitlyn! Caitlyn! I have something for you”, she
scouted jogging after me
With
the fakest grin on my face I turn around. “Oh sorry Mrs. Scott, I didn’t hear
you”, I said to her as she handed me an envelope. “Thank you, I’ll see you
tomorrow”, I said as I shoved the envelope between my polka dot 1 subject
notebook and my Sponge Bob lunch box.

Finally,
I was home. I grabbed to remote and aimed in at the flat screen TV. V I Z I O
appeared in neon orange across the screen. GUIDE. PAGE DOWN. PAGE DOWN.
NICKELODEON.
[Are you ready kids
"Aye Aye Captain" I Can't hear you "AYE AYE CAPTAIN" Ohh...]
I
laid on the plush burgundy rug in front of the television and took my pencil
case and binder out of my backpack to start my homework. When I flipped open the
cover of my notebook the envelope Mrs. Scott gave me fell out.
To the Parent
or Guardian of Caitlyn Rollins
OMG!
What did I do now?! Was it another uniform violation? I don’t wanna get in
trouble again, I just got off punishment. I’m just gonna open it, that way
I’ll know what I’m getting myself into ahead of time.
Congratulations! I am pleased to inform you that the
staff of Hilton Elementary/Middle School has recommended Caitlyn Rollins to join the AAA Safety Patrol Club as she has shown
academic strength, outstanding leadership skills in class, Blah! Blah! Blah!,
and overall good behavior throughout the school year. AAA (American Automobile Association) is a
non-profit member service organization Blah! Blah! Blah…helping young
pedestrians learn and fulfill responsibilities regarding traffic safety. A
parent consent form MUST be signed before being awarded the safety badge and
belt. A meeting will be held Tuesday March 7th at 3:45pm in the
auditorium.

I really like your formatting choices in this with the font changes. I think this is a really strong part of your piece. I love the blah blah blah in the formal note, it really brings out the child voice that is being used.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sade, the different fonts really bring color to this piece. The part where you say "OMG! ..." why don't you put it in italics or something because it is a thought rather than a action like the rest of your piece?
