Description:

• This is a packet meant to help students write their own imaginative stories. It contains eleven worksheets that will break down this process. You do not have to use every worksheet in this packet to teach the unit. Some worksheets will seem to cover the exact same concept, only slightly different. However, I realized that everyone has different tastes in how to teach, so I tried to give a few more options. It is difficult to say how long this will take. Every group of students is different. From the start to the final draft, I am assuming it will take two to three weeks.

Includes:

• 11 different worksheets covering
  • Setting, conflict, resolutions, character, and plot development
  • It begins with asking students to delve into the topics based on their experiences, then moves into brainstorming, designing their own stories, writing their drafts, and adding revisions.
  • Each of my designs is included in the previews! No buying without seeing the whole package!
