Skyward!

Here is a delightful From the Brain paragraph from Brendan, age 12. From the Brain assignments teach students to write tight, focused paragraphs. With such a skill, students master the building block of all essays and reports.

I am a small country boy who once had a dream I was Captain America. Lying in my bed, I was awoken by a radiant ball of light. In a couple of seconds, it entered my body. Suddenly I felt my muscles bulging everywhere. I admired my new strength. I hopped out of bed, took a step, and ZIP! I flashed across my room. Super speed and super strength, not too shabby, I wondered to myself. Assuming I could fly, I jumped out the window. I plummeted towards the ground. A couple of yards away, I shot skywards. From that day on, I pledged to fight evil and protect civilians forever. I was Captain America!
