tutoring sessions so that I donât âaccidentallyâ punch him in the head.
9. I will stop eating spicy food at school, since it gives me really bad hiccups and then kids make fun of me.
I think this is enough to strive for this year. I donât want to set my expectations too high.
Happy New Year, RJ!

Hi, Arthur!!!
How was your NYE party?? Mine was pretty fun! There was a karaoke machine LOL!!! I canât believe your cousinâs name is George! Thatâs so funny! I thought only old people were called George LOL!
After I sent you that email, I remembered that it was your first Christmas without your mom! Iâm SO sorry! I should have remembered that and not talked about MY Christmas! Iâm glad your cousins were there! I hope it wasnât TOO sad! Iâm sending you a HUGE email hug!
Iâm so excited that you will be in drama with me! Robbie is going to be in the class too!! It took some convincing at the party last night, but he finally admitted that he loves Shakespeare too, so the three of us can be the witches in Macbeth LOL!!! Double double toil and trouble LOL!!!
Your last email was HILARIOUS! Iâm glad that you havenât lost your sense of humor even though your Christmas must have been SO sad!!
Anyway, I donât want you to KILL me for knowing how your story ends before it begins LOL!!! Canât wait to see you in THE THEATER LOL!!!

Hi, Kennedy,
I didnât end up going to the party. George got food poisoning or something, so Luke and I watched movies until 3 a.m. It was fun anyway. They are leaving today, which is too bad because if they lived here you could meet my cousin Luke. Anyway, glad you had a nice NYE party. See you in a few days. Thanks for the email hug too. Christmas was fine, and it wasnât too sad. Luke got a new video game so we played that and it was awesome. Well, it was awesome once we returned it and got the game that worked with his PlayStation instead of the Nintendo version.
Yours truly,
Arthur Bean

Dear RJ,
All right, RJ. Itâs time to get serious. No more thinking about other stuff. I have a story competition to win. Itâs going to be hard, especially since Kennedy is about to fall in love with me. I wonder how famous couples deal with it when one person is more famous than the other. Luckily, most girls at school are always reading magazines that give them love advice and information on famous people, so Iâm going to let Kennedy do the research on that. Ha!
But no more jokes about love advice, RJ. Iâm going to just think about writing and work on being famous, and then I can stop thinking about my mom and worrying about my dad (all his unwrapped presents are still sitting under the treeâhe hasnât even put them away! Pickles has clawed through one of the scarves I made for Dad already. I put the other one away for him). From here, itâs all about me, RJ!
Yours truly,
Arthur Bean

Assignment: Character Sketch
Our next unit is creative writing, and itâs my favorite unit to teach! I hope that our assignments over the next few weeks inspire you to find new ways to tell stories. For those of you participating in the short story contest, you might find some of these exercises strengthen your story. For others, I hope that this unit inspires you to continue writing outside of the classroom.
Write a few short paragraphs about a person who means a lot to you. This assignment will be a jumping-off point for developing a character for a short story you will be writing later in this unit. What does this person wear? What do they eat for breakfast? How do
