Answer 1

For heaven's sake, MC! How do we know which day of the year is special to you? You'll need to choose a day that have special meaning for YOU. You can't write an effective poem unless you have strong feelings about its subject.

Answer 2

Thanksgiving day would be a nice choice, I think.

Answer 3

But I didn't really do much on that day...the only special thing that happend this year was my sister's birth about 2 months ago...should I write about that?

Answer 4

The implication of the assignment is that you choose a special day that happens every year.

It could be a holiday or your birthday or the last or first day of school.

Answer 5

Last day of school has no point when you homeschool...
I'll just do my birthday. it's hard getting the syllables right though
