Middle School Creative Writing Activities

This Middle School Creative Writing Activity collection is a fun way to get your middle school students writing! This resource guides students through 9 creative writing activities (in both print and digital formats.)

Students are prompted to independently compose an exciting and interesting short story. Each creative writing activity contains a writing prompt that provides the important characters, the setting, and the problem. The students then take the story in whatever direction their imagination leads them!

In this 100-page/slide resource, you get 9 creative writing activities that each contain a graphic organizer focusing on one of the following aspects of narrative writing:

• Story Elements
• Character Traits
• Revealing Characters
• Using Dialog
• Using Sensory Words
• Using Transitions
• Elements of a Mystery
• Peer Review Opportunities! (Digital Version)

In addition to guiding students through writing a narrative, each activity provides the opportunity to SHARE stories with classmates. This encourages the student writers to communicate with each other and improve their writing.
