SAMPLE BOOK PUNCH WRITING PROMPTS

Buck must adapt to a new place when he moves to the icy wilderness from his comfortable house in California. He must learn how to live in the harsh, freezing cold Arctic Northland. Think about a time you were outdoors and had to cope with the elements. Write a paragraph about a time when you were outdoors with no shelter to protect you from the weather.

In the survival novel, "The Call of the Wild," Buck goes from living in a relaxed household in California to the cold, harsh environment of the Arctic Northland. In order to survive, Buck must change his behavior and adapt to his new environment. Write a multi-paragraph essay arguing that Buck changes the way he lives and adapts to his new environment in order to survive. You must write a thesis statement that expresses this opinion, a body of two or three paragraphs to support your statement, and a concluding paragraph that sums up this point of view.
