WRITING PROMPTS

1. Have you ever taken a hiking trip or camped out? Describe your experience in a few paragraphs. If you haven’t done either of those things, then describe what you would like to do during your hiking or camping trip.
2. It can be interesting to think about a story from a different point of view. Try writing Chapter 5 from Colt the dog’s point of view. What was Colt thinking about when he jumped inside Marlon and Nadia’s tent?
3. Marlon’s parents wanted him to spend less time on his phone and more time enjoying the great outdoors. How do you think Marlon felt about that at the start of the story compared to the end? Write a few paragraphs explaining how his attitude shifted after his hiking experience.
