Writing About Dads


Next Sunday is Father's Day. 

It's a time to celebrate our dads, stepdads, grandpas, or other guys in our lives who are like a dad to us.  

How would you describe your dad? What does he look like? Is he bald, or does he wear his long hair in a ponytail? 

How does he like to dress? Does he wear his comfy old T-shirt? Does he have a favorite pair of beat-up sneakers? 

What makes your dad unique? How does he laugh? Have you ever seen him cry? Does he like to cook? Ride a bike? Watch vampire movies? What does he hate to do? 

Do you have a special memory of your dad? Something you did together, or something he told you that you'll never forget?  

How are you like your dad? How are you different? 

Write down in words a "portrait" of your dad, or someone special who's like a dad to you. Remember to include details that make this person like no other.

And don't forget to tell him, "Happy Father's Day!"
