Students are told to use the letters in the name to write a poem . Each line must start with a different letter ( or the letter can be contained in the first line – how they arrange the poem is their choice ). They can use adjectives , nouns or actually make a sentence – works well with primary students ( 9-10 year olds ). 2 . Students invent their own unusual home and invite us on a tour , describing and / or drawing it , on paper , in Minecraft , in Tinkercad , etc ). They each present their home and answer questions . 3 . Students are given an imaginary animal ( a combination of two animals , photoshopped ). They have to come up with a name , location , description of its habits , life , quirky facts . Alternatively , you can try something that is equally engaging for students , they create their own imaginary animals and present them to the class . 4 . Photo-based story writing – students are given 3 random images which reflect locations ( scenes ) and are asked to create a story using those 3 images for beginning , middle and end . Alternatively , you can replace the second image with 2-3 images representing various objects / characters that the students have to introduce into the story . 5 . Team chain story writing – students from different classes work together to write an online story – in our case , a 4th and a 7th grader collaborated to write a story called The teddy bear ( very engaging , complex , 8 pages ) - https :// bit . ly / 3xkmY8V - as a fun factor , the teacher can also pitch in to make it more engaging for students ; they love writing together with the teacher 6 . Each student continues the sentence written in present simple / continuous / past tense simple ( your choice ), using the last words from the previous sentence .
