This writing prompt is all about eating, so it makes sense to have a menu of choices for you to write about.
Choose one item from the menu below to write about. Here goes:
1. Exposition
If you were to cook a dinner for someone, what would you cook and whom would you invite? Your dinner guests can be real people you know, characters from books or movies, or people from history.
2. Persuasion
Persuade a friend or relative to go to a certain restaurant or fast-food place with you.
3. Narration (storytelling)
Write a short story about characters eating or cooking together. What will they eat? Who will be the cooks? With whom will they eat? Will they like each other? Have troubles? Will the meal go badly? What will happen when strangers get together to eat?
You can make up the characters or use ones you already know from movies and books. (What would happen if Captain America and the Winter Soldier or someone from HYDRA showed up at the same dinner?)
4. Persuasion (advertising)
If you like to cook, choose one item or meal to write about and then describe it as though you are advertising it on a menu. Make it sound appealing so people will order it.
5. Personal narrative (personal story)
Write about an interesting, funny, or strange meal you’ve had. Who was with you? What happened?
