Writing challenge number two

Teacher tries to make writing interesting by calling it a "challenge"

Local high school teacher Tanya Hodge is infuriated with students after there neglect of blog assignments.  "Blogs are a big part of our curriculum and my students are being immature and stupid by refusing to do them" Hodge says. However, She has come up with a solution that she thinks will solve that problem. She's calling it a "Writing Challenge" and she believes it will revolutionize the English teaching industry."Kid's can't say no to a challenge" Hodge says while writing her challenge topic on the board. "These kids need a kick in the pants, I ask them to do next to nothing for my class and they still refuse to do the work. They're seniors for god's sake!" Hodge is teaching a class called voices for the first time in her long and fruitful teaching career. She claims that she has never dealt with seniors that are as lazy the 2010-2011 voices class.
An un-named voices student was quoted saying "challenging or not, I'm not any more motivated to write, it's so much easier to procrastinate." the student currently holds a C- in the class. Willis Batz-Kamby, another voices student was quoted as saying "I'll do as many challenges/blog Ms. Hodge wants me to do as long as I can beat adoption." Batz-Kamby has made it his goal to win the independent project competition that goes along with the writing challenges. "I'm tired of the girls group talking *expletive* all the time, it's time to shit them up once and for all so if these challenges can help me beat that group I'll do a hundred of'em.".
Hodge claims that she can't make any promises as to who wins but Batz-Kamby believes that his challenges could push his team over the edge.
