Homework by Friday Week 6

The prospector: Short Story

You all have your own prospector. You all have words that describe him and you
know what he is searching for.

You are going to write a short story (at least 200 words but it will probably be much longer) which describes an adventure your prospector has.

Set the scene. Where is he? What’s the environment like – weather, land, animals, etc?
Your prospector is searching for his treasure (whatever it is – explain it).

Something goes wrong. What – is he caught in landslide?, attacked by an animal?, chased by aliens?,
something else?????????????????

He solves the problem (how? – explain) and carries on prospecting

Good words to use for the exciting bit:
horrific      excruciatingly      painful        thunderous       eerily        quiet          scrambling

desperate      relieved        scorching       hot        savagely        escape
