Instructional Ideas
- During journaling or freewriting time, provide these starters for learners interested in practicing their creative writing skills
- Instead of printing and handing these out, write or post them up on the board and invite pupils to choose their favorites
- Pair this with instruction on how to construct a narrative
Classroom Considerations
- While the resource says to give one to each student, you'll have to print more than one copy of some of them unless you only have 17 students
Pros
- The starters include a good variety of different characters and settings
- Kids will enjoy using their creativity to expand upon these ideas
Cons
- None
