Maria Isabel wrote in her class after reading "Charlotte's Web" what would be her greatest wish. (pg. 403) Now you are going to do the same!

Right now, at this very moment, what would be your greatest wish?

• Is it something tangible (you can touch)?
• Is is something you can buy?
• Is it something that would change the past?
• Would you change the future?
• Would it last forever?
  

My suggestion is to make a list of a bunch of wishes you have:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Now think of what you would REALLY, REALLY like and why you would like it.
Then, put your ideas in categories, such as "Stuff to buy", "Feelings", "Magic", etc. and from there think what is MOST special to you.
How long would that wish make you happy/satisfied?

Your response should answer the following:

Please note: You will not have to share your greatest wish with others in class if you feel it is too private. The goal is for you to think about yourself, and reflect on what is important in your life.

Enjoy this assignment!
