Here are some examples.. Story 1 • Ever since my father got Covid he’s been obsessed with instant ramen. Ma forbade it after reading an article about MSG, she calls all carbs “empty calories” (except rice). He started to sneak into our house with paper bags — instant noodles beneath produce — slipped their shiny wrappers into empty shoe boxes. We’ve never been exceptionally close, my father and I. But we’re always the latest up, most vulnerable when hungry. We nurse green ceramic bowls. When I ask him why ramen — he says the warmth. I understand. I clutch onto it too, steam cloaking our pulse, pink ears under moonlight. • — Emily Pedroza, 15, Lynbrook High School, San Jose, Calif. Source: NY Times Story 2: Baby Tim 6 p.m.: The words “I dare you” were muttered at an empty park. 6:05 p.m.: I slid my legs into a baby swing. 6:15 p.m.: My friends and I laughed hysterically as my legs dangled. 6:30 p.m.: I was stuck. 7 p.m.: No one called for a parent in fear of stark punishment. 7:30 p.m.: My legs became red and numb, but we finally called a parent. 8 p.m.: The fire truck arrived with baby oil and bolt cutters. 8:15 p.m.: Freedom. Four years later: My friends still call me “Baby Tim.” — Timothy, 15, Derry Area High School, Derry, Pa. Story 3: The Sidewalk The three of us walk on a sidewalk. Side by side as we head home. We take turns talking to one another. Three isn’t an even number so one of us is always left out. The sidewalk narrows and soon it is only two of you standing side by side. I stand behind and walk alone. I cross the street and continue walking on the opposite side. By the time you guys notice I’ll already be home. Later you’ll send me the same text. “Sorry, we didn’t notice.” And I’ll respond with mine. “It’s fine.” — Nicole, 15, Alisal High School, Salinas, Calif. Story 4: Meet Bobby Flay The day was here. I waited in line hours to see my culinary hero: Bobby Flay. While other preschoolers watched cartoons, I watched the Food Network. My favorite show was “Beat Bobby Flay,” and I rooted for Bobby every episode. By third grade, I instructed my parents to salt water when cooking pasta and reminded them to let meat rest. For me, food was an art form, a balance of flavors. Clutching my cookbook I approached for Bobby’s signature, but my mind went blank. I said nothing to him. As I walked away, I could imagine Bobby thinking “bland.” — Kayla Lee, 14, River Dell Regional High School, River Edge, N.J. 100wordstory.org You can find more 100-word stories for inspiration here Reading Comp Assignment (15 min) Read aloud in groups (breakout rooms) Friday Using your MUI Gmail, create a Quill Account quill.org/join/bolt-grocery (Brothers link) quill.org/join/recipe-list (Sisters link) Essay Prompt – Minimum 5 Paragraphs ”Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare Write an essay in which you use evidence such as research, interviews, and/or your own experience to argue why hard work is more important than luck—or why luck is more important than hard work.
