Is your mouth watering yet?
Let’s celebrate hamburgers and cheeseburgers with a menu of writing prompt choices.
Now it’s your turn: Choose from the following menu options.
1. Write about the best burger you’ve ever eaten. Describe it fully: how it looked, how it felt, how it tasted, how you reacted, and so on.
2. Write about the day you ate the best burger you’ve ever eaten. Was it a good day? A terrible one? What else was going on?
3. What goes into a great burger? Describe the kind of burger you like to eat. Include the ingredients; be specific (type of cheese, for instance).
4. Write a script for a TV commercial for a fast-food company and its burger. Make the audience drool!
