Which Door?
Imagine that you find yourself in front of 5 doors, none which are marked. A voice tells you that
one of the doors will take you to Wonderland, one to Narnia, one to Hogwarts, one to Camelot,
and one to a space station on Mars. You must choose one door to go through. Which door do
you choose? What do you find on the other side of the door and what happens when you travel
through it?
Brainstorm your ideas on the back of this paper using the questions I provided for you before
starting your rough draft. After you answer the questions turn them into a paragraph about the
day you were a different age. Then have an adult help you edit your rough draft by looking for
capital letters, correct punctuation and grammar, spelling mistakes, and how well you stayed on
topic. Last, rewrite your paragraph in your neatest handwriting or type it up on the computer.
Make sure to turn in this sheet, your edited rough draft, and your final copy.
REMEMBER:
1. Sentences should start with a capital and end with a period, question mark, or exclamation
point.
2. A sentence should be a complete thought or idea. Your paragraph should have at least 6
sentences.
3. Strong sentences have vivid details.
4. Your paragraph should stay on topic and have a topic sentence, detail sentences, and a
concluding
concluding sentence. Don’t forget to indent!
5. All words should be spelled correctly. Have an adult proofread your paragraph before
turning it in.
Here’s an example of my paragraph:
I approached five plain-looking doors. None of them had any signs indicating where they led to or
knobs to open them with. Suddenly a voice overhead spoke. “Before you lies five doors, five choices, five
mystical lands. You must choose one and only one and once you make your choice there is no turning
back. Which door do you choose?” Above the doors the destination for each doorway lit up. After
slight hesitation I decided I’m going to Hogwarts! The door clicked open on its own and I stepped through
to find myself in front of a large, medieval castle. I couldn’t believe I was actually at Hogwarts! Stepping
through the heavy double doors I saw groups of wizards chatting while going to class, colorful sparks flying
through doorways, and images moving through the portraits on the walls. The halls were emptying fast and
I realized I was late for class. I walked into the closest door and the professor at the front shouted,
“You’re late! Come to the front and be my assistant for this spell.” Not knowing what else to do I
marched to the front of the room with thirty pairs of eyes locked on me. “Now class, pay close attention.
This is one spell you need to say correctly for it to work. Alaga-achoo!” With that sneeze I turned into a
scaly lizard! How do I get out of this one?!
Turn to the back to fill out the organizer.
