Creative writing lesson plans

How do I teach creative writing?

We've outlined a seven-step method that will scaffold your students through each phase of the creative process from idea generation through to final edits.

1. Share drafts for peer feedback
2. Produce rough drafts
3. Start planning
4. Warm-up for writing
5. Unpack the prompts together
6. Create inspiring and original prompts

How do you start a creative writing lesson plan?

Give your students a short prompt and ask them to write a story based on that prompt.
For example, have the students write a story on what they would do if they found a bag of money or gold on the way home from school.
With older students, use the prompt as inspiration for short stories not based on themselves..
