The French Poodle, the Tennis Racket, and the Taco


What do a French poodle, a tennis racket, and a taco have in common? Nothing! That's what makes this writing exercise fun.

Write a story. Make sure you include:
  • A French poodle
  • A tennis racket
  • A taco
What does your poodle look like? Does it have pink fur? White? Black? How big is the tennis racket? Is it an old racket with broken strings? How about the taco? Does it have cheese, lettuce, and hamburger, or something unusual like ice cream?

What will happen in your story? Maybe the French poodle always wanted to take tennis lessons, but he can't afford a racket. He goes to a restaurant and orders a taco, which turns out to be a magical taco....

That's just one idea. Use your imagination and write the story of "The French Poodle, the Tennis Racket, and the Taco."
