Welcome to the academic blog for all Central Catholic High School students currently enrolled in Writing The Essay. This weekly blog outlines and explains each and every writing prompt from the semester long class. Students should utilize the site to review the prompts in the event of an absence. Also, parents should feel free to check out the many different topics and styles of writing that their children are exploring throughout the school year.

DAY 2: HISTORY
Here is a link to LIFE Magazine's "100 Photos that Changed the World". I want you to search through the photos and write a fictional story based on the photo. The story can be directly related to the actual context with which the photo was taken or it can be completely unrelated to the actual context. Either way, you need to write a 250-500 word fictional short story that is inspired by any ONE of these photos. HAVE FUN!
