Celebrating America’s 250th

In an effort to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Nation, this contest encourages you to look at the history of our Nation. How did our independence, and those who fought for it, shape where we are now? Prompts are written to encourage age-appropriate creative writing. 

Project Sustenance: Learning to be Self-Sustaining 

As we grow, we are always learning. There are skills we learn as children that we carry into adulthood. Below are age-appropriate prompts for a creative writing project around this subject. Children learn to be independent through skills in and out of the household, all of them imperative to adulthood. 

As a young person, you are learning, every day, how to do things to be self-sustainable. Write a story about working with an adult to learn something you will carry into adulthood. Some examples to get you started would be learning to cook, learning to do a load of laundry, planting a seed, and imagining what harvesting would be like, or what a harvest is like, learning to fish or hunt. Use your imagination; you can even write about a futuristic skill or a lost skill.
