About That Groundhog…

February 4, 2019 By Nancy Casey

It’s a familiar story. The groundhog either causes or prevents the coming of spring, depending on whether or not it sees its shadow on a certain day.

Is this a story of fear or perseverance? Is it a story about a rebel, an outcast, or a pioneer?

Is it a story about how someone takes all the credit–or gets all the blame–for something they didn’t do?

How would other characters tell the story? The sun, the shadow, the other groundhogs, and Spring itself?

What aspects of the story reflect your experience?

Today, tell a story that is inspired by the groundhog story.

Be sure to give your work a title. Write the date on it as well.
