T-DAY
FIX-IT 8

Your assignment is to write an essay about Thanksgiving. 
You have a lot of leeway on this essay. 

• You might want to write about the first Thanksgivings in America (hint: they were NOT in 1621).

•  You might want to write about a deeper meaning of Thanksgiving (i.e. the Greek for Thanksgiving is Eucharista). Taylor Marshal writes about this in easy to read, clear ways. here (<--- St. Paul references) and here (<--- Biblical references linking back to the Old Testament).

•  If you want to dive into the Eucharist as your topic, here is a series of three YouTube recordings that might be helpful.  

Scott Hahn's Understanding the Eucharist part 1.  
 Scott Hahn's Understanding the Eucharist part 2.
 Scott Hahn's Understanding the Eucharist part 3.

•  You might want to write about a much loved familyThanksgiving  tradition. If you choose to do this, your essay should be filled with descriptions and answer the who, where, why, and how questions. Dive deeper than a simple description of a tradition. Give us depth.

•  You might want to learn about the Canadian Thanksgiving and write about that.

•  You might want to write a creative essay that uses "Thanksgiving" as your writing prompt.

A little flustered when sighting no one, she inquired “pray tell, who has tendered such a thoughtful offer Groomed in courtly speech Dorinda could talk as a princess when convenient. 

When a slimy putrid green amphibian hopped toward her on the rim of the well, croaking, “It was me Dorinda let lose a spine tingling shriek and nearly ran away, her inquisitiveness got the better of her however. 

“How is it you can talk Mr Frog” “Its a dull story but maybe I’ll tell it to you one day, for the present, would you like me to salvage your ball?”
