An engaging prompt that sets the stage for a hilarious Thanksgiving adventure! The star of the show? A turkey determined to escape its fate! Students will use their creativity to craft a narrative about the turkey's daring escape, the chaos it leaves behind, and the potential consequences (or maybe even a happy ending!)

Make it interesting!

• How did the turkey manage to escape the Thanksgiving dinner table?
• Describe the turkey's journey after escaping. Did it encounter any obstacles or helpful allies?
• What happens to the characters back at the Thanksgiving table? Are they surprised, disappointed, or perhaps secretly relieved?
• Will the turkey reach freedom, or will it be captured (with a twist, perhaps)?

What to do in class?

1. Set the Scene: Introduce the "The Great Gobbler Getaway" prompt and discuss the elements of a strong narrative, such as plot, characters, setting, and a clear beginning, middle, and end.
2. Brainstorming Bonanza: Encourage students to brainstorm ideas for their narratives. They can sketch scenes, jot down character details, and plan the escape route for their feathery friend.
3. Gobble Gobble Write! Students put pen to paper and craft their Thanksgiving escape stories.
4. Sharing Time! Students can share their hilarious and creative narratives with the class, sparking laughter and imagination.
