Creative Writing (Example Activity)

Preparation: Find one or more interesting pictures that will encourage debate or creative writing. The picture will be the subject of writing for the lesson. Each small group in the class will write a passage based on the picture.

Lesson: Divide the class into small groups around each word processor. Each group should discuss the picture, and then start writing. The first person in the group starts writing the opening sentence of a passage. Then, the second person writes the second sentence, the third person writes the third sentence, and so on. All members of the group should watch the screen as the activity proceeds. This is usually a fun activity that leads to a lot of laughter as learners try to follow each other’s thinking, and the story can take many unexpected twists and turns. Encourage them to have fun and be creative. This could continue until five minutes before the lesson time has expired. Afterwards, the passages could be printed and pasted on the wall or sent by e-mail to you, the educator.
