Creative Writing Activity

Product Description

TOW (Thought of the Week) is a great way to get students started in the creative writing process. The teacher can use the writing prompts as a writing activity, a one-time evaluation, or as a semester-long evaluation.

Included is:

• 20 weeks of creative writing prompts (3 different choices per week)

• An instruction sheet for students

• An editable due date sheet (in PDF)

• Three editable evaluation sheets (work process, oral, and writing) in Word for easy modifications.

I’ve used these prompts for years now, and every year I’m surprised at how much students enjoy this activity. I thought that it was time I shared.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “FREE Snorfs! An Early Science Fiction Reader (Original, GTC Handy)”

by J MASON EMERSON

3rd – 5th Grade

This is handy for the gifted, talented, creative and is also a reading resource with vocabulary at a level which most primary students in the third grade up should find just right. It’s also handy for your reading circle or reading center. I wrote it because there’s not much in the science fiction genre in elementary schools, and yet it’s a great, fun bridge from fairy and folk tales; and besides it’s cute and motivates kids to want to read.
