Then answer each question.  \nAn Idea for Tucker  \nMrs. Flippen’s class sat listening to a talk being given by a local author. Tucker sat slumped in one of the library chairs. Most of the students wanted to hear about the writer’s work. Tucker did not.  \n“Why bother?” Tucker thought to himself. He always received low marks on his writing assignments, no matter how hard he worked on them. He could never think of anything interesting to write about.  \n“Does anyone have any questions?” Mrs. Flippen asked her class.  \nTucker raised his hand, “How do you know what to write about?”  \n“Well, sometimes I don’t,” the author replied. “It takes a lot of hard work to come up with ideas.” She reached down  \nand pulled a battered looking book from a cloth bag on the floor. “I find making a scrapbook helps.”  \nTucker sat up a little straighter in his seat. “What’s in the book?” he asked.  \n“I fill it with pictures, stories, and notes about things that interest me.” The writer opened the scrapbook on her knee. She tipped it up for the class to see as she turned some of the pages. “When I need an idea, I look through the book instead of staring at a blank page.”  \nTucker thought about the author’s scrapbook as he walked home. He thought about staring at a blank page each time he tried to write a story. Digging in his closet, Tucker fo und an old binder. He filled the binder with notepaper from his desk.  \nAfter supper, Tucker cut some pictures out of the newspaper. Then he drew some pictures of his own. He cut and pasted stories from his old magazines. Then he looked  \nup the words he did not know and wrote down their meaning.  \nIn the days and weeks that followed, Tucker collected more ideas. He found that the more he collected, the easier it became to find things to collect. He wrote down a unique name when he heard one; he wrote down the plays at a school football game; he copied out some facts from a book on animals; he wrote down a joke that he had heard and the lyrics to a song. Tucker’s book of ideas grew fatter and fatter.  \nOne morning, Mrs. Flippen told the class about a writing contest. The local author who had spoken to the class was donating books as prizes. There would be a prize for the best story in each grade. Tucker wanted to win. He wondered if he had found enough ideas to make a good story?  \nThat night, Tucker looked through his book instead of staring at a blank page. At first, nothing happened. Slowly, he began to fit  \npieces together like a puzzle. He picked a setting for his story from a picture. He used the name from an article for his character. Tucker’s story started to grow. He worked on it every night until it came time to hand in the story.  \nTucker waited while each teacher read the stories for her grade. He waited for them to pick the winners. He waited for the principal to call out his name, but no one called Tucker’s name. His story did not win.  \n“Why did I try?” he thought to himself and slumped in his chair.  \n“I know you are disappointed, Tucker,” Mrs. Flippen said. “I want you to know I really liked your story, and you made it difficult to pick a winner. Your story might not be the best in the class this time, but it is your best work so far.”  \nTucker smiled at Mrs. Flippen and went to congratulate his classmate on her winning story. Maybe she would tell him where she got her story ideas.  \nExercises:  \n1.
