Draw Than Write: I Scream, You Scream We All Scream for ICE CREAM!

 Sweet Summertime Memories: A Call for Ice Cream Stories

 

The sun is shining, the days are long, and the summer heat is definitely here! What better way to beat the heat and spark some creativity than by indulging in the frosty delight of ice cream? This summer, I invite you to churn out some sweet memories and enticing requests, all centered around this beloved cool-weather dessert..  

Choose one , or do all three...it's your choice...

To inspire summer writing about cool weather desserts, especially ice cream, I have outlined  three creative prompts The first option encourages you to share a personal memory about ice cream, bringing to life a cherished experience. Following this, the second option challenges you to write a persuasive request for an ice cream outing, providing two to three logical or fun reasons for giving into a craving for ice cream. Finally, the third option, invites the writer to use their imagination and come up with the recipe for the perfect summer’s day treat! 

Choose one , or do all three...it's your choice...

Before you write,  I encourage you to  read over the prompts. - but  ...

First - Let's Draw!  

Get your drawing paper ready.  Have a pencil and some colorful makers or crayons nearby.

The following video is a quick tutorial on how to draw an ice cream cone.  Actually there will be two types of ice cream cones you can draw: "two scoops" and a "soft-serve cone."
