Writing Prompt 1

Your class is working on a creative writing project called "Finish the Story!" Each student has been given the beginning of a story to read. The beginning introduces a character, a setting, and a problem—but it ends right before something important happens. Your job is to imagine what happens next and write the rest of the story.

Read the story excerpt provided. Write a narrative that continues and completes the story you were given. Make sure your story has a middle and an ending that make sense with how the story began. Use details to show what the characters do, think, and feel. Try to make your story interesting and exciting for your readers.

Writing Prompt 2

Your class has been learning about how animals survive in the wild. Your teacher has asked you to help create a display for the school science fair that explains how animals use their senses to stay safe, find food, and live in their environments. You have read two articles about this topic. One article describes how animals use hearing and smell, and the other explains how animals use sight and touch.

Think about what you learned from both articles. What do animals use their senses for? How do the senses work differently or in similar ways to help animals? Write a report for the science fair display that explains how animals use their senses to survive. Use information from both articles to support your explanation. Be sure to include details and examples that will help other students understand the topic when they visit your science fair display.
