Memories act as writing prompts
In an effort to help students generate writing ideas, Spanish Fork Junior High School counselor, Mr. Jackson, related one of his first childhood memories to Mrs. Thompson's seventh grade English students. Jackson displayed a 1977 Tonka 4X4 which featured removable wheels, a tire jack, and a red gas can. He went on to describe in detail the Christmas morning he discovered what would become his favorite toy and explained its sentimental value that was sparked by his family-owned tire business in Springville.
