Off Track - Zebra #16



This is a quick write assignment.  Please write non-stop for 10 minutes.  You will need a piece of paper, pencil and a timer.  If you don't have a timer, you can use a watch, or ask someone in your family to watch the clock for you.

The goal of this assignment is to write non-stop.  If you do this, you are practicing putting your brilliant ideas on paper.

Here is the topic…

Imagine that one day, in your city, in your state, in your country, and in your world, there were no numbers.  Everywhere you went, there would be no numbers.  For example, a house would have a word on it, like, "bird" or "paper".  So the address would not have a number in it.  Or, when you went to the store, and you wanted to buy a loaf of bread, the bread would not have an amount for the price.  It would have a picture, like a picture of a pair of glasses.  If you wanted to buy the bread, you would have to give the store your glasses.  So, back to the quick write topic.  If the world became numberless, what would life be like.   Please be creative, and think about different examples of what would happen.

Go!
