The 5th Grade Computer students are working on a unit about Halloween. They are using their information in several different programs to create a Madlib Story. They are first brainstorming and organizing their information using Inspiration into nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, etc. And then they are writing their story using Microsoft Word inserting the words into blanks left open for the specific words. Here are examples of students' stories. Hope you enjoy them!

TRICK OR TREAT! I am really looking forward to Halloween. I love carving peas, watching for black dogs, and telling spooky desk stories. Most of all, though, I love Trick-or-treating! This year, I am going as a computer. I am going to dye my hair pink, wear an old beautiful shirt, and stick food on top of my head. It will be the coolest costume you have ever seen! At each doorstep I will skip and say "trick-or-pen" as sadly as I can. Then, hopefully, the person will drop something nice into my treat sack! Of course, there is always some athletic lady who hands out flowers, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just say thanks and run along to the next house as quickly as possible.	TRICK OR TREAT! I am really looking forward to Halloween. I love carving *peppers, looking for black cats, and telling spooky chocolate* stories. Most of all, though, I love trick-or-treating! This year, I am going to be a *ghost. I am going to dye my hair orange, wear an old ugly* shirt, and stick a *witch* on top of my head. It will be the *biggest* costume you have ever seen! At each doorstep I will *sprint* and say "trick or *skeleton" as silly* as I can. Then, hopefully, the person will drop something *tiny* into my treat sack! Of course, there is always some *weird* lady who hands out *goblins, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just say thanks and leap* along to the other house as quickly as possible.
TRICK OR TREAT! I am really looking forward to Halloween. I love carving carrots watching for black squirrels, and telling spooky Florida stories. Most of all, though, I love trick-or-treating! This year, I am going as Niagara Falls. I am going to dye my hair green, wear an old rain shirt, and stick a leaf on top of my head. It will be the loudest costume you have ever seen! At each doorstep I will skip and say "trick-or-turkey" as madly as I can. Then, hopefully, the person will drop something funny into my treat sack! Of course, there is always some weird lady who hands out ponies, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just say thanks and dance along to the next house as quickly as possible.	TRICK OR TREAT! I am really looking forward to Halloween. I love carving asparagus, watching for black platypuses, and telling spooky mailbox stories. Most of all, though, I love trick-or-treating! This year, I am going as a tongue. I am going to dye my hair light magenta, wear an old yucky shirt, and stick on a bamboo stalk on top of my head. It will be the scariest costume you have ever seen! At each doorstep I will wiggle and say "trick-or-houses" as stupidly as I can. Then, hopefully, the person will drop something stately into my treat sack! Of course, there is always some slimy lady who hands out tables, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just say thanks and think along to the next house as quickly as possible.
TRICK OR TREAT I am really looking forward to Halloween. I love carving carrots, watching for black horses, and telling spooky ocean stories. But most of all though love trick or treating! This year, I am going as a dog. I am going to dye my hair blue, wear an old funny shirt and stick a cat on my head. It will be the largest costume you have ever seen! At each doorstep I will ride and say "trick-or-food" as loudly as I can. Then hopefully the person will drop something pretty into my treat sack. Of course, there is always some weird lady who hands out plants, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just say thanks and play along to the next house as quickly as possible.	TRICK-OR-TREAT I am really looking forward to Halloween. I love carving mushrooms, watching out for black monkeys, and telling spooky thunder stories. Most of all, thought, I love trick-or-treating! This year I am going as fire. I am going to dye my hair green, and wear an old athletic shirt, and stick water on the top of my head. It will be the coolest costume you have ever seen! At each doorstep I will run and say "trick-or-eggs" as roughly as I can. Then hopefully the person will drop something serious into my trick-or-treat bag. Of course, there is always some nice lady who hands out computers, and there is nothing you can do about it. You just say thanks and laugh along to the next house as quickly as possible.
