CREATIVE      WRITING

Halloween is such a great time to incorporate so many academic skills into your curriculum.  Using this one for a creative writing assignment.  The students always seem to love to write stories associated with Halloween.   They seem to find it easy to relate to characters, settings, a problem and solution.  If you have an Art Teacher that is willing to work with the classroom teachers this is a great opportunity for the students to also paint a scene from their story.  Then it really becomes exciting for the students to see a scene from their story become alive on paper.
