Students will have the opportunity to get their creative writing juices flowing. We will spend a few periods working on a creative writing activity. For the next few periods, we will not be worrying about a minimum number of words/paragraphs. Simply sit back, relax, and have some fun while writing. This activity will lead us into our next unit which will focus on refining our paragraph writing skills.
Requirements:
- Should be at least three paragraphs long
- Use the P.E.E. Method
- Each paragraph needs a topic sentence (point)
- Supporting details/evidence
- Explanation of that evidence
- Use the P.E.E. Method
- Edit your response (ensuring that proper nouns are capitalized)
- Read your response aloud and listen for errors/confusing sentences
- Utilize COPS Editing Checklist

Mr. Washerstein,
I think you will be amazed at the stories your Grade 6 students will write. I remember how much they loved creative writing in Grade 3 & 4. 🙂 I hope the students post the stories on their blogs so I can read them too!
