Desert Island

September 20 - If you were trapped on a desert island, what are three items you would take with you?

I keep thinking,

years ago,

before the age of cell phones

and iPads,

this prompt would have so much more meaning.

I've done this with my students

and I keep getting iPhone and iPads.

I think something gets lost 

in the experience of thinking

when they go electronic. 

So,

I'm going to do this

the non-electronic way.

1) Book

I am torn between taking an Anne Rice book

or JR Ward book. 

I'm thinking which ever book

survives the reason I'm on this island

is the one I'll...

well.....

take!

2) Picture

I'm assuming I'm alone 

on this island.

And if I'm alone,

I want Ethan and Scott with me.

And if they cannot be with me physically,

I'll take them with me

through a photograph.

3) A Journal

I hope it's ok to also include

a pen here.

But if I'm going to be stuck alone,

I'll need to write my crazies down.
