Writing Ideas

  • It is a beautiful day so you decide to take a hike in the woods. You notice something strange lying in the path ahead. What could it be? As you inch closer, you realise that it’s a long piece of snakeskin. Use all of your descriptive writing skills to write about this discovery.
  • Write a Kiplingesque Just So story that has the following title: How the Mamba Got its Black Mouth.
  • Once Bugs the black mamba has finished shedding his skin, write what happens next.
