Watch the trailer for the Minecraft movie and then do the writing assignment below.

After watching the Minecraft trailer, you will create your own story set in the Minecraft world. Imagine you are the main character, just like Steve, and you’ve discovered an incredible new place or adventure. Write a short story (250-300 words) that answers these questions:

  1. Who are you in this world? Are you an explorer, a builder, or perhaps a warrior?
  2. What have you discovered? Maybe a hidden city, a secret passage, or a new creature that changes everything!
  3. What challenges do you face? Think about the dangers or obstacles you might encounter in this world made of blocks.
  4. What will you build? Describe something amazing you create to help you on your journey or to save the world from danger.
  5. Who will help you? Are there other characters, like Garrett, who will assist you? Describe your allies.

Writing Tips:

  • Use descriptive language to make your Minecraft world feel real.
  • Include action to make the story exciting.
  • Think about how your character might solve problems using the unique abilities of the Minecraft world (e.g., building, crafting, using magical objects).

Feel free to use your imagination and think about how you would survive and thrive in the Overworld!
