"Pink Straw"
*Throughout the year I try to use images that are somewhat of an optical illusion.
*Years ago a colleague of mine sent me a collection of images that are optical illusions.
*Last week we did our first "optical illusion" and it was a hit. I thought it would be fun to use another image similar to that again this week. This one should be fun to write about.

*Each Wednesday we write in our writer's notebooks about a particular image.
*They can record their thoughts, reactions, connections, likes/dislikes, reminders, noticings, or anything else they would like.
*Some of the writers choose to write a fiction story based on the picture.
*We write between five and ten minutes and then do a quick share at the end.
*The photos always lead to lots of conversation and the sharing of ideas. I try to get them to write first and then we can share what we wrote and what we were thinking.
*The writers are really enjoying writing and talking about these photographs.
