Please purchase one licensure per teacher using this product Creative writing gets “rolling” as students roll story element dice (setting, character, obstacle, and a story starter) to create a random set of story components. Once students have their story elements, they'll plan and write a spooky story as they combine each of the elements in an entertaining writing piece. Copy a class set of the ‘Spooky Story Writing Pre-Write’ and the ‘Writing Paper’ Make story element dice by cutting out each shape, folding along the lines, and taping or gluing the cube together. + You may want to make each cube a different color. Copy as many as you will need depending on how you will have students complete the story rolling. Students could roll their story dice independently, with partners, in small groups, or even at stations throughout the room. LESSON BUILD BACKGROUND + Explain to students that scary stories have the same elements as other stories (character, problem, setting). Just like other stories, the main character is faced with a challenge to overcome. However, scary stories add additional elements of a creepy setting, scary characters, and a twist or surprising element at the end. You may also want to read a scary story to students - included is “The Pink Jellybean.” It's most effective if you don't read the title and you read it aloud in a very suspenseful manner. Explain to students that they will be writing spooky stories. However, they will have a little help determining the story elements. MODEL & PREPARE + Model rolling the dice and create a mini-story with the class. + Depending on how students will be rolling the dice in your class, assemble partnerships or groups. Distribute the ‘Spooky Story Writing Pre-Write’ for students to record the story elements they roll. Copyright © 2016aln Waves Instruction Al ight reserved by auther. For dassroom use only bya single teacher. Please purchase one licensure per teacher using this product WRITE + Once all students have rolled each story element, lead students through the pre-write: Characters - Students will most likely use the character they rolled as the antagonist. That means that they need to create a main character. Have students add details about how each looks and acts. Setting ~ Have students consider when the story takes place and add descriptive details to increase the fear factor. Plot - Encourage students to develop their plot sequence. The key will be the twist in the story. Twists can include things like a blocked escape route, or the villain is actually the hero. Descriptions - Have students develop sensory descriptions that add to the scariness of the story. + Give students an opportunity to write their spooky story on the ‘Writing Paper.’ They can begin with the story starter they rolled. SHARE + After students have written their stories have them share with a partner, small group, or the whole class.
