Option G:  "Pen Pals" (descriptive) 

Prompt:  Imagine that you have a pen pal from another country. In a recent letter your pen pal asks about your school.

Option H:  “Your Own Superhero”  (descriptive) 

Prompt:  There are dozens of superheroes in comic strips and in movies. Some can fly, some can run faster than humans, and some have enormous strength. Imagine a new, original superhero. How could this superhero be described? What special powers would he or she have, and where did the superhero get those powers? How would he or she look? Does your superhero have a special hideout and equipment? And, of course, don't forget to describe your superhero's costume!
