Creative Writing Club - Lesson Pack

Designed for a secondary school creative writing club that meets weekly for 45 minutes, with the aim of encouraging students to write in ways that they might not have covered in their English lessons, while learning about new forms and techniques for writing creatively. This pack includes ten lessons. Lessons are designed as one-off sessions due to students not necessarily being able to attend consistently. Lessons include warm-up writing activities or starter games to play; directed writing in forms such as kennings, constrained writing or site-specific poetry; focused writing using sensory description, the second person and specific themes; and examples of poetry or fiction writing that exemplify certain techniques.
