Your Inner Child!

This is a writing exercise to get you in touch with your child-self before we start writing your children's books! Choose one of the prompts below and write it as your child-self (this is going to take some thought)! 

What kind of things would you have to say about one of these topics when you were 5 years old? 7 years old? 9 years old? If you're feeling brave, use your multi-genre sheet! Make sure that you write in a child's voice - your child voice!

a. What do you want to be when you grow up? Why?

b. What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you? Why was it so scary? What did you do about this scary thing?

c. Talk about a time in which you felt proud of yourself. What did you do and why did you do it? Did you receive any awards for this task?

d. What are the differences between boys and girls in how they act? Why do you think that boys act one way and girls act another?

e. What would you do with a million-billion-zillion dollars? What would buy and why?
