Creative Writing Workshops BUNDLE – Secondary ELA – 6 Genres w/ CCSS Rubrics

These SIX no-prep creative writing units (for the genres of FANTASY, HORROR, MYSTERY, REALISTIC FICTION, SCIENCE FICTION, and TRAGEDY) facilitate the analysis of genre literature and the writing of creative narratives.

Appropriate for grades 5-12, owning this bundle means never having to develop a creative writing unit again!

The 137-pages and 75-slides in this bundle include the following activities and assignments:

• FIVE genre introduction presentation files that address the definitions and structures of each genre, the characteristics of heroes, villains, literary elements and devices prominent to each genre, and MUCH MORE
• Presentation note-taking handouts (w/ answer keys)
• FOUR short stories by Richard Post (written exclusively for The Language of Educational Art) and 34 accompanying response questions (w/ answer keys) designed to further your students' understanding of the structure and thematic concepts found in literary works
• A mystery writing planning packet that includes the short story "The Pearl Necklace" (with guiding questions and answer key), notes on the elements of strong mystery writing, and a step-by-step guide to planning an original mystery story
• A "news tragedy" analysis activity that asks students to evaluate the "tragic" qualities of an included news story and test their new understanding of literary tragedy (great for group work!)
• 4 drafting activities with accompanying rubrics
• FOUR literary analysis essay assignments that build on students' thematic understanding of how genre narratives are structured (40 points - tied to 4 Common Core Standards)
• Narrative map templates that assist students in selecting their own stories' settings, heroes, character arcs, villains, conflicts, and MUCH MORE (almost no writing required!)
• Narrative outline activities that allows students to take their maps' visual guidelines and begin drafting their own narratives
• SIX narrative writing assignment sheets that includes descriptions of famous stories tied to each genre, assignment descriptions, general narrative writing tips, self and peer writing checklists, and TWO (!) standards-based grading rubrics for each narrative (a 40-point short form rubric tied to 4 Common Core standards; a 90-point long form rubric tied to 8 Common Core Standards)
