Creative writing warm ups…
Hello again – hope the term is treating you well.
If, like mine, your school has dedicated writing lessons, you may want to use these creative writing warm-up activities to avoid agonising ‘pulling teeth’ sessions where kids procrastinate before churning out unfocussed drivel.
