Adventure Story

Adventure Story

With a partner you will write a minimum 3 paragraph adventure story. The story should be about one adventure in the life of a character who goes on many adventures.

Choose an adventurer's name. You can always change the name later if you decide you are unhappy with the name. Visualize what your character looks like – this may help you select a name.

- Below are some ideas of names – remember your adventurer's name should be representative as to who they are

First name ideas: Kay, Ralph, Jodie, Jane, Lynn, Kim, Kathy, Jim, Sam,
Dale, Ralph

Last name ideas: Valiant, Intrepid, Hunter, Courtly, Stout, Triumph, Starc
Escapade, Chase, Steadfast, Turbo, Steele

(consider what these words mean – if you don't know
look in a dictionary – they help give a hint to the reader
what the adventurer is like.)

Determine what time period this story is taking place. Remember your character is already an adventurer this means that they have been on adventures before. Consider other adventurers you may be already be familiar with. Indiana Jones or Frodo from Lord of the Rings – I'm sure you can think of more!

You and your partner should brainstorm three exciting small things that will happen to your adventurer.
