JOURNAL
Now it's your turn to write a tall tale!  In your journal, please write a 1 page tall tale on a made up (by you) or fake (cartoon, video game character, etc.) character.  Your entry can either take on a story format (like Pecos Bill) or a poem format (like Paul Bunyon) and it also MUST include 7-10 hyperboles.  If you could underline your hyperboles, that would be GREAT!  It also needs some sort of visual to go along with it.  This should be done on a separate page.
