Adventure Story Introduction

Imagine a character gets lost in a remote, isolated area like the jungle, desert, mountains, forest, tundra, or on an island. You may also choose a specific place for the setting of your story. Write a one- to two-page story in which you show how the character survives.

Use the following questions to guide your thinking and writing: • What is the setting like? • What challenges must the character overcome? What kinds of problems must the character solve? • What traits and values, or characteristics, does the character display? What thoughts and feelings does the character have? • What elements of danger are present? • What people or animals does the character meet? • Does the character return home? • How does the story end?
