Last Creative Writing Assignment!!!

Hey guys! This is your last Creative Writing assignment for the year! Please read the details of this assignment carefully because it will be counted as a test grade.

Your story prompt is "Stranded on a Desert Island."

Here's what happened:

Our Language Arts class (if you're in 6-1, it's the entire 6-1 class, and if you're in 6-2, it's the 6-2 class) was on a plane headed for Tahiti. We were on a field trip to research wildlife on pacific islands. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the flight, and our plane went down. The pilot ejected from the plane. Your class and I (everyone survived the landing) are now stranded on a deserted island in the middle of the South Pacific. There is no WiFi or cell service. We have no idea where we are, and there are no buildings or inhabitants here. The only things we have are:

- Whatever you'd pack in a suitcase for a really cool field trip to Tahiti (no, you would not pack a machete)

- Whatever was on the plane (the plane is, to our surprise, still in tact)

Your writing assignment is a journal entry, written four weeks after the plane crash. In your journal entry, tell me what's transpired over the last four weeks. What happened after the crash? What's the current situation? Has anyone tried to signal for rescue? Has anyone gotten sick? Give me the details of what we now look like as a class four weeks after being stranded on an island.

You will be graded on:

Format (Times New Roman, double-spaced, size 12 font)
Spelling (use your resources - spell check, Google, a dictionary...)
Capitalization
Punctuation
Avoiding run-on sentences
Avoiding fragments
Evidence of proofreading (when I read your story, can I tell that you went back and read through it                                                when you were done to make sure everything made sense?)

Have fun! This is due the next time I see you for creative writing!
