This 50-slide pack contains activity ideas and prompts for 12 creative writing sessions. I used these for weekly sessions over one full term with an upper KS2 class, although they could be used for lower KS2 or lower KS3 children with minimal adaptations.

The goal of the sessions is to give children a stimulus and the basic information that they need to write with as much freedom as possible. They begin each session with one slide, which outlines what they need to do in the first paragraph/ section, and ordinarily contains a picture stimulus, suggested techniques to use and example sentence openers/ lines. After 10-15 minutes (depending on the nature of the task and the class) the teacher introduces the next slide. There are four slides for each session. By the end of the 45-60 minutes, children should have a coherent first draft of a creative composition.

Prompts, support and guidance are provided for 12 individual creative writing sessions:
-Description: Haunted House
-Narrative: Journey Back to the Land of the Dinosaurs
-Newspaper Report: An Alien Landing
-Persuasive: Competition for a Dream Holiday
-Informative: A Police Statement
-Poem: My Favourite Place
-Diary: Climbing Mount Everest
-Persuasive: Letter to the Headteacher
-Narrative: Story of a Scar
-Explanation: How to Play (My Favourite Sport);
-Diary: Journey to Mars
-Narrative: Recreating a Fairy Tale

I hope that these prove as useful to you as they were to me!
