Start with a prompt: Give students a prompt or a topic to write about. This can be a picture, a sentence, or a word. Encourage them to use their imagination and creativity to write a story or a poem.

Use sensory details: Encourage students to use sensory details in their writing. Ask them to describe what they see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. This will help them create a vivid and engaging story.

Show, don’t tell: Teach students to show, not tell. Instead of telling the reader what is happening, encourage them to use descriptive language and actions to show the reader what is happening.

Use dialogue: Dialogue can bring a story to life. Encourage students to use dialogue to reveal character, advance the plot, and create tension.

Use figurative language: Teach students to use figurative language such as similes, metaphors, and personification to add depth and meaning to their writing.

Edit and revise: Encourage students to edit and revise their work. Teach them to look for spelling and grammar errors, as well as ways to improve their writing.

Share and critique: Encourage students to share their writing with their peers and provide constructive feedback. This will help them improve their writing skills and learn from each other.
