This is a fun creative writing worksheet. The students are simply shown a paper bag with a funny expression on its face. They then need to imagine they are the paper bag and write a story about why it feels like it does. They have to imagine why it is feeling happy, sad, scared etc... using their senses as a cue. What might the bag be seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting to give it the expression it has on its face. This will help the students to become more creative, write more detailed descriptions and organise their work better. This is a perfect way of preparing for the KS1 SATs tests and the KS2 SATs tests. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different feelings Mr Paper Bag being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching set of story prompts. The students could also take five of the laminated photos and create them into a story . The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
