Fortune Cookie Couplets

Couplets are a pair of lines in a poem. Rhyming couplets are what their name describes: two lines of poetry that rhyme.

Write at least 5 different rhyming couplets. The topic for each couplet should be a future prediction someone might get in a fortune cookie. An example might be "I'm happy to say / You'll have a great day" or "If you cheat on that test / You'll end up in a mess."

Once you've written your rhyming fortunes, cut them into small strips of paper that could fit inside a fortune cookie. (One recipe I read suggested 3 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.)

Then make a recipe for fortune cookies, placing one of your rhyming couplets inside each one.
