In 5th grade my teacher showed the class some antiques and one of them was a poison ring. We had to choose an antique to write a story about from the perspective of the item. I was fascinated by the poison ring and wrote a story about how the poison ring convinced multiple women to poison their husband with arsenic (I think I had just watched Arsenic in Old Lace) and the story ended with the ring trying to convince the wearer to kill their husband.
I thought it was a very good spooky story. My teacher thought it was concerning and referred me to the school counselor. I wish I still had a copy.
Your teacher is lame. I wrote an internal monologue of a psychotic person who ended up jumping off a bridge to prove he could fly and for the rest of her career, my teacher used it as an example of the genre every year.
Oh you reminded me of my teacher keeping my poster board as an excellent example for when we did that report about a U.S state. I was so proud, my poster looked so good :)
I want to say they were randomly selected? Because I got South Carolina lol, I lived in California. I have always been a curious kid and maybe picked a state I knew very little of.
