1 Mastery Connect Benchmark - ELA

Situation: Imagine you wake up one morning to discover that you have a special ability — the power to talk to animals! You can communicate with every creature, from tiny insects to large wild animals, and they understand you just as well as you understand them. As you leave your house, you hear your dog talking about a secret mission that needs your help. The mission involves a mysterious place deep in the forest that only animals know about. It's up to you and your animal friends to solve a big problem.

Write a story about your adventure as you team up with the animals to complete the secret mission. Describe how you felt when you first discovered your ability, the animals you met along the way, and the challenges you faced during the mission. Be sure to include a beginning, middle, and end, and make your characters come to life through your dialogue and descriptions.
