My topic would be a flea because it requires the life of my students to work. Sometimes it can make them itch and feel like they don’t want to be there. Other times it spreads from one student to another until they are all scratching flea infested writers.

The fleas tends to get big and nasty and hopefully if all goes well they will take over entire households. Then the parents and siblings will get the ‘itch’ too.

Sometimes, I want to get rid of the fleas. They get into everything and the twitch from the ‘itch’ makes me stand out. They become uncomfortable and I wonder if it right to encourage my students to want fleas. Then I realize that the squirming and the constant jerks are just a part of a bigger picture.

At school the students might be judgmental of someone with fleas. But after they realize that the fleas are their friends they will want them too. In the end, it will be a big flea pile with bugs jumping from one to another, flea exchange will be encouraged and it will be cool to have fleas jumping from you skin, clothes and brain.
