11th Grade Creative Writing Resources

This bundle packages my products for The House on Mango Street and Woman Hollering Creek. At my school we read The House on Mango Street as a full class, and later in the year Woman Hollering Creek is one of the literature circle choices. I've also included a poetry analysis activity: a foldable for "Abuelito Who". It's a beautiful coming of age poem with themes of family, love, and loss. Please check out each product's description individually! Thank you for looking!

This bundle includes 5 products for Animal Farm: A Speed Dating Discussion Activity for after chapters 1-4, a Speed Dating Discussion Activity for after chapters 5-8, a Creative Writing assignment that requires students to write a Eulogy for Boxer after chapter 9, a creative writing assignment that asks students to write what Old Major would have to say about the current situation on the farm if he could miraculously appear, and a Socratic Seminar for the end of the book. Please check out each product's description individually. Thank you!
