The Amazing Adventures of...

In my Elementary class this morning, I decided to have my students do a little creative writing. The premise of the activity was to write a story called "The Amazing Adventures of..." The student could basically do whatever they want from there. As soon as I began reading over some of the students' shoulders, I knew this was a good idea. A few of these stories are priceless, and I'd like to share some of them with you. The stories are copied exactly as they appear on the paper.

*I should note that there were certain key words that I gave to the students to try and elicit some ideas. This is why you may notice words such as airplane, racecar, or slippery placed randomly within some of the stories.
