Week 1 Writing Homework

Go Back to Course

Writing Prompt: Your class is on an exciting excursion to explore a tropical rainforest when suddenly you realise you’ve wandered away from your group. The towering trees seem to whisper secrets, vines hang like curtains, and mysterious sounds echo through the shadows. Write a story about your adventure getting lost and finding your way back. In your story, try to:
* Make the rainforest come alive by giving it human-like qualities (Does it breathe? Does it watch you?)
* Use the weather to match the mood of your characters (stormy when scared, sunny when hopeful)
* Include descriptive language that helps readers see, hear, and feel the rainforest
* Show how your characters work together and what they learn about themselves

Remember to include dialogue, exciting moments, and a satisfying ending!

    Scholarly Writing Homework—Lost In The Rainforest

    Dear Diary,

    As the sun rolled down and the sky began to be painted with red, orange and pink, the afternoon cool air came here, in the Legendary Forest of The Red Salted Lake. Seeing the lush green trees with my own bare eyes and watching the flamingos migrate all the way to here was a miracle. Our class stayed here until the colorful sky became a midnight black canvas with stars shimmering in the sky. The grey clouds came tumbling past us, shrieking in laughter of “Get off me.” The inquisitive green vines wrapped themself up to an ancient oak, forming a curtain of vines and the tree was covered with mosses and occasionally lichens.

    Subconsciously, I wandered off to see a spotted deer that was running past us to the direction of North. Diary, I was tracking that deer for hours that I didn’t even realize that I had walked off the track I was supposed to. It was a traumatised experience because this forest is 670000 square metres. 670000! I can feel my breath hitched, my legs slowly turn to jelly and fear flooded my body, from my toes all the way to my head. Trembling, I slowly tried to remember which way I came from. Is it north or is it south. Is it right or is it left. That was all in my head, diary.

    I wandered in the cold night, starving and tired. The cold wind mercilessly beat me with its rod of cold leather. I felt like I could get hypothermia at any time. I thought about my class. Are there already at the centre, sipping hot cocoa before boarding the bus or worse, ready to board the bus. The thoughts of my class bring me memories that I don’t even understand but you see in the diary my teacher warned us about following the track but obviously I didn’t listen. Now? I was lost but I felt tears welling up in my eyes and I eventually released them. Those tears felt cold yet hot and salty. So when I opened my eyes, everything was foggy and blurry. I started to doubt my search forever, trapped in a rainforest for the rest of my life.

    But I saw light and torches. Could it be my class? Or could it be the night guards? But then I heard the worrying chatters of my friends about me. HOpe filled me up when I saw the familiar silhouette of my teacher and friends. Rushing up to them, I shouted up and they noticed me. We shared a group hug at the end, with the sun opening up with a sun beam that shone on us. Diary, I learned an important lesson from that experience. Listen to your teacher and you will avoid bad fortune.

    Yours,
