Are you looking for some new creative ideas and resources that will spark an interest and enthusiasm about writing in your students?
My creative writing teaching resources focus on the entire writing process.
Students start off by completing an idea web. Next, they complete their first drafts, and then they edit and revise them. Finally, they are ready to publish their work into a final draft.
My final draft writing templates are unique in shape, size, and color. Each of my writing sets also come with a grading rubric and a five page display banner for your bulletin board.
Example Creative Writing Project : Witch and Cauldron
This is a creative writing activity for Halloween. Students write a Halloween Story, and their final draft template is in the shape of a witch and cauldron.
This writing set contains the following:
assembling directions
story idea map (template 1 below)
first draft (template 2)
final draft templates (templates 3-4)
color final draft templates (templates 5-6)
matching display banner (above)
grading assessment rubric
In the picture below, you will see examples of some of these components.
To find blank Halloween stationary with matching display banners, please click on the following link: Halloween Stationary Sets.
Each of my writing sets contains two versions to choose from: a standard American version and a second choice download of a UK English version. The differences in these two versions are very slight and have to do with spelling (color/colour) and some punctuation differences.
Please check back on this page soon as I will be adding creative writing sets with uniquely shaped templates, newspaper writing sets, poetry, stationary, and journal topics.
Please bookmark and return to this creative writing teaching resources page often, as I will be frequently adding new writing resources to this page.
