Twenty dynamic ideas to kick-start your students' creative writing. These teaching ideas are great for lessons when your creativity is flagging!

The ideas include using a range of prompts (photos, works of art, music, nursery rhymes, memories, literary characters, the news, a bag of sweets, a bag of tricks and even the seven deadly sins) to unlock students' imaginations and get their pens flowing. There are also tasks which help students see stories from different characters' perspectives as well as suggestions for redrafting written work.
