The Alien Exchange Student

Write about an alien sent to Earth as part of an interstellar exchange student program.

Place an alien student in the midst of typical high school drama, and you have a recipe for hilarious misunderstandings and silly shenanigans. Imagine how an alien might misinterpret everyday teen situations. This prompt explores themes of ‘culture shock’, fitting in, and the comedic absurdity of high school, all through the lens of a fish-out-of-water alien scenario.
