The Trail In & The Trail Out

Remember that each challenge is composed of two trails — the trail up the mountain, and the trail back down, or the exploratory and the community challenge. Click here for more information about exploratory and community challenges.

Compose This

Each trail has a set of instructions on what students should compose, which is generally a 500 word piece of writing on a shared Google Doc.

Rules

We all love boundaries sometimes. These are the rules, constraints, and expectations for a trail. For instance, add an image, link to a peer’s writing, a screencastify video, a works cited page. In general, as the trail level increases, the rules become more rigourous.

Can I Put the Challenge I Create on this Website?

Yes — absolutely! If you’ve created a challenge you’d like to put on The Writing Hut, please let the Write Alaska TAs know!
