• Promotes Creativity: These prompts allow students to stretch their imagination. From writing about pirates looking for new jobs to imagining themselves as famous inventors, the prompts encourage students to think outside the box and create unique stories.
• Builds Writing Fluency: By regularly using these prompts, students will naturally build their writing fluency. Writing consistently helps them become more comfortable expressing their thoughts in written form.
• Supports the Writing Process: Each prompt includes a built-in checklist that guides students through the essentials of good writing, such as ensuring complete sentences, punctuation, capitalization, and legibility.
• Flexible Usage: Teachers can use the prompts for a variety of purposes. They are perfect for morning warm-ups, writing centers, bell-ringer activities, or weekly journal assignments. Additionally, the prompts are useful for writing workshops, where students can work through the writing process of drafting, revising, and editing.

Got reluctant writers? This resource bundle will get your students excited for narrative writing and spark all sorts of creative ideas. To begin, practice the concept of Show, Don't Tell with a quick activity that gets kids communicating, collaborating, and thinking critically about using strong details in creative writing stories. It feels like a game, but it isn't!

Then, students work together to build a story from scratch, first selecting a character and a conflict, before selecting cards for sensory details (see, hear, smell, taste, touch), dialogue, and emotions. The word cards act as a word bank, giving kids a starting place to work from. Kids can use the SWBST summarization tools to help plan out their storyline. With the support of peers, students physically plan and orally rehearse their story multiple times before committing the storyline to paper. Kids can switch stories and use their SWBST tools to summarize another team's story, allowing the young authors and readers to compare and contrast how the story may have changed from the planning to the actual writing or publication stage. These three resources are all you need for hours of creative writing fun.

In my own classroom, I used the Show, Don't Tell writing activity to teach the concept of elaboration. Several days later, we used the character, conflict, and sensory detail cards to develop a story of our own. I even used these resources during an observation this year. We took about an hour to plan out our stories and then another hour for the actual writing. The kids had a lot of fun and everyone was engaged.

Resources Included:

• SWBST Story Planning and Summary Writing with Editable Character/Conflict Cards
• Show Don't Tell Story Elaboration with Editable Sensory Detail Word Cards
• Show, Don't Tell: A Writing Activity for Grades 4-8
