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.
