What Teachers Are Saying About This Halloween Writing Prompts Story Starters Activity:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used this resource in my 6th grade ELA classes during the days around Halloween, which as teachers know can be CRAZY. My students LOVED this activity! I let them choose whether to write their story on their own or work with a partner, combining all the character/conflict/setting cards they picked or selecting the best of each pair for their story. We had just been studying character, conflict, and setting, so it was perfect timing all around.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My 9th grade co-teach ELA class had SO much fun with these activities. It was a great break from the "labor" of normal school work and they really enjoyed the opportunity to be creative.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wonderful resource! This was a great way to have my students engage in writing! It challenged them to think outside of the box!
