Descriptive Writing Exercise: Fortune Cookies

 Update: Here are a few examples.

The Composition class is working on paragraphs.  I want to focus on descriptive paragraphs.  Here is a scripted lesson using fortune cookies.  Here is a gallery of over 600 fortunes.  Here are fortunes you may have read in a cookie.  Use these as writing prompts or have kids rewrite them.    Write along with your teen.  Let him or her she you struggle!  I took a stab at a fortune cookie below.

‘You will receive money from a most unexpected source.’  

My sister, Cheryl finds money.  Once, she was complaining about something stuck to her shoe—a five dollar bill.  Cheryl was walking on a sidewalk in New York City.  Finding money is a bit like luck.  It tends to arise is unexpected places.
