I have just been looking on http://www.teachers.tv/resource/search?tn=writing&t=502&mtid=892&noscroll=1 and have found some wonderful short videos that provide a starting point for creative writing lessons. This would be an excellent resource as the videos are very engaging and interesting. They are also available in a range of year levels.

  1. I agree, what a great range of resources to engage students for creative writing. I looked at the science one and the beauty of it is that it allows the student to use their imagination to what may have happened and/or what could happen in the future. I will use these some day.

  2. They are terrific aren't they! I think that they would be great for stimulating students to think creatively and show their own perspectives on things. By showing the students one of these short videos, it could provide excellent preparation for an assessment task for creative writing. It could also be used to allow students to practice their handwriting or just as an activity for spare time. There are so many possibilities!
