Narrative/Descriptive Writing Template | Journey to Earth Layers

By Nardine Mettry

Bon voyage on your narrative adventure to the Earth's core! Prepare to be amazed by the incredible experiences that await!

What's Included?
2 Writing Prompts (Choose One)
Option 1: Divided Paragraphs (Provides a more structured approach)

  1. The Crust: Your adventure begins at the surface, on the Earth's crust. Describe the landscape – is it a scorching desert, a lush forest, or a mountain peak? What sights and sounds surround you?
  2. The Mantle: As you burrow deeper, the heat intensifies. You've reached the mantle, the thickest layer of the Earth. Describe the strange and wondrous things you encounter here – molten rocks, exotic crystals, or perhaps even signs of ancient creatures.
  3. The Outer Core: The pressure is immense as you descend further. Now you're in the outer core, a sea of liquid metal. Describe the mesmerizing flow of the molten metal and the otherworldly sights that take your breath away.
  4. The Inner Core: Finally, you've reached the Earth's innermost layer, the solid inner core. Describe the unimaginable heat and pressure here. What does it feel like to be at the very center of our planet?

Option 2: Lined Paper (Open-Ended)
This version allows for more creative freedom. Imagine your journey to the Earth's core and narrate your experiences in a continuous story. Describe the challenges you face, the wonders you discover, and your thoughts and feelings throughout this extraordinary adventure.


⭐You might need this to remind your students of the Layers of the Earth | Activity and Notes**⭐**


Don't forget to share with me how it went with your little ones. I hope it was useful in your classroom.

The Great Gatsby WRITING ASSIGNMENTS | Creative AND Analytical Writing | AP LIT!

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

NEW IN 2020: Rigorous! Engaging! Thought-provoking! This 10-page EDITABLE document will set your students up to write both creatively and critically about Fitzgerald's masterpiece. The three writing assignments promise to elicit thoughtful engagement from all students without compromising on intellectual rigor.

Here's what you'll find inside:

Creative Writing Assignment: Invite students to write in Fitzgerald’s virtuosic prose style while filling in a missing scene from the novel. What did Gatsby write in his letter to Daisy? What was said when Gatsby and Daisy finally reunited at Nick’s house? This assignment can be given mid-unit after students finish reading Chapter Six. (1 page)

Analytical Writing Assignment: Challenge students to take their interpretations one step further by writing an analytical paper on Fitzgerald’s wonderfully complex novel. Let students choose from one of five profoundly thought-provoking sample topics — or invite them to develop an original topic of their own. Rubric included. (4 pages)

Q3 Practice Essay: Designed for AP Lit teachers, this in-class essay assignment will enable students to practice the "Q3" essay from the AP Literature and Composition Exam. Included are three recent Q3 prompts that feature The Great Gatsby as one of the recommended works of literary merit. The assignment asks students to respond to one prompt by composing a well-written essay in 40 minutes. (5 pages)

The writing assignments will come to you in a 10-page EDITABLE Word document that you can customize for your teaching style! The preview for this resource provides access to all 5 pages of the document. Click on the green “PREVIEW” button to see what you’ll get. . . .

Thank you for choosing “Rigorous Resources”!!

Happy teaching!

Adam Jernigan, Ph.D.

adamjernigan@gmail.com

Note: These writing assignments are also included in my Gatsby MEGA-Bundle. The bundle contains everything you'll need to deliver amazing and comprehensive lessons on Fitzgerald's novel: over 40 slides and over 240 pages of content-rich handouts and activities. If you've already purchased the bundle, you don't need to purchase these writing assignments. Thanks!
