I need writing ideas for a 6th grader - any suggestions?

[Anonymous]

During this isolation period, I want to incorporate some essay writing into our "homeschooling." But I am running a blank here - any suggestions of what I could tell her to write about?

If you had to give up one of your five senses, which would you choose to go without and why?
Write a short story about a teenager who discovers he or she has a secret superpower.
Write a poem that describes your neighborhood.
What is your greatest talent? Where did you learn it?
Write about a time when you gave something of yours to someone else. How did they respond? How did that make you feel?

The assignment that most inspired my kid in 6th grade was to rewrite the ending to a book.

"How has your life changed over the last 5 years?" followed by "What would you like to see happen in the next five years"
"If you could change three things that happened in the past what would they be?" followed by "How would those changes affect the present?"

Would you rather... prompts (google is your friend here!)

Who would win... research two animals and recreate similar to the popular series

Also the I Survived series -- pick something from history (not already covered) and research then write an essay
