To be honest, the most poignant stories involves the exploration of the mundane in a unique manner, change and belonging is not as independent and unrelated as you seem to think. The best thing to do would be to have the rubric with you, deconstruct it, come up with related words and expand on possible plot ideas, settings and structures, for example, you could highlight how a lack of change/inability to change out of a monotonous routine would leave an individual isolated and discriminated, always consider differing degrees of change-it is a part of the inherent complexities of life.
