What does this worksheet teach?
⌄
Retell one St. Patrick's Day parade mishap from a float builder, a band member and a small child. The directions on the page read: Read the topic. Plan in Step 1. Then write all three parts in Step 2.
Can I use this creative writing worksheet for homeschool or classroom?
⌄
Yes, both. We made it for 7th grade narrative writing, and it works the same at home or at school. At home, a student can work through it alone and then go over it with you, which shows quickly what is solid and what needs another look. In class it works as independent practice, homework or a warm-up, and you can print one copy or a full set.
How do you plan a short story?
⌄
Decide on the characters, the problem and the events in order, then write. Each sheet here has a Step 1 planner, such as the clue chart on Back to School Mystery With a Clue Chart.
What story techniques do these sheets teach?
⌄
They include dialogue, a narrator's point of view, a twist ending, a story told in reverse, time stamps, field notes, a story within a story and a tall tale.
Can I use a rubric with these stories?
⌄
Yes. Narrative Writing Rubric With Self and Peer Scores has levels 1 to 4 for point of view, plot and pacing, dialogue and sensory language, with columns for self, peer and teacher.
Do these sheets have answer keys?
⌄
No. Every story is the student's own invention.
