A Stroll Through Time

Select an era of history and describe a single day living during that time.

This prompt requires a balance of both imagination and attention to historical detail. Would you choose Ancient Egypt, Victorian England, or possibly wartime in the 1940s? What would you see, hear, and smell? What would life be like for you as a 6th grader living in that era? This prompt invites creativity, historical interest and description. It can be an exciting exercise in diving deep into a historical period and living it through your words.
