On Tuesday, Terry took out some paper and began writing about her favorite food. The beginning of Terry's paper looked liked this:
Terry could not think of anything else to write. She really tried hard to think of other things she could say about pizza. She remembered the two pizza toppings she likes best and wrote them down.
Terry spent the rest of the week trying to write the paper. Then Friday came, and it was time for Tery to give her paper to the teacher. Both Terry and her teacher were disappointed with what Terry had written. What could Terry and her teacher have done differently?
