Friday, 5/17: Complete NJASK Task 8 with open-ended, and write a 4-paragraph story for the following prompt:

ö  Imagine your homeroom class has been stranded on an unknown island after a horrible plane crash. Unfortunately, the adult chaperones did not make it out of the plane with the rest of the class, so you will need to survive on your own. All you have are yourselves, the clothes on your back, and a few supplies from the plane that are left on the beach (binoculars, a compass, a First-Aid kit, matches and flares, and tape). Think about how these items will help you survive.

ö  Using figurative language and descriptive details, write a 4-paragraph story about what happens on the island. Be creative. Use your imagination. Remember, your job as a writer is to paint a picture for the reader.
