Time for another prize drawing! Every challenge that you submit gets your name into the drawing. This week's prize is a Barnes and Noble gift card. The drawing will be on Friday.
Read!
Challenge 1:
You can always choose what you want to read, but this week we recommend reading some fanfic at https://www.fanfiction.net. Many young writers like to build on existing characters and stories and are able to give new depth to characters as they create their own stories. Who knows, you might read something from the next great YA writer. Just let us know that you read for at least 2 1/2 hours and you'll complete the challenge. If you choose this as your option, just select "Read" as your challenge when you're in the "submissions" page of this site.
Watch!
Challenge 2:
Let's get outside for our "Watch" challenge and try bird watching. How many birds can you identify in your own backyard, or at whatever spot you want? Maybe Smith Lake. If you choose this option, select the "Watch" challenge and tell us about the birds you saw in the comments box on the "submissions" page of this site.
Listen!
Challenge 3:
Choose or write a theme song for yourself. Think about the music in movies like "Rocky" and "Chariots of Fire." How does the music fit the activity? How does the song that you picked represent you? Choose the "Listen" challenge on the "submissions" page of this site and tell us in the comment box why you chose the theme song that you did.
Do!
Challenge 4:
Let's think about healthy eating again. Challenge yourself to eat 5 fruit and vegetable servings each day this week. Choose the "Do" challenge and tell me how you did in the comment box on the "submissions" page to complete the challenge.
