Pumpkin Personification

This pumpkin needs some personality. Students start this activity by giving him or her a proper Halloween face. Then they can write about a day in the life of this pumpkin. What does it think, what does it feel, what does it do, what does it wish it were doing instead?

This pumpkin’s day can be written as a poem, a song, a rap, a narrative, a diary entry, or an interview.
