Step-by-Step Creative Writing | 5-Step Storytelling Formula | Animals | DIGITAL

Do you have reluctant or emerging writers? If so, then you need this step-by-step creative writing unit! Using the 'somebody wants but so then' (SWBST) approach, this animals-themed NO PREP digital resource includes a 5-step creative writing formula (slides), examples, writing rubrics, and more.

The formula in this resource only works for stories about animals. I will be developing resources for people and other topics in the near future!

This resource pairs well with my other animals-themed creative writing units, which come with graphic organizers, handouts, and anchor charts:

• Arctic Animals Endless Creative Writing Prompts
• Zoo Animals Endless Creative Writing Prompts

It makes a great addition to your writing lessons or centers. Perfect for elementary and lower middle-school classrooms, homeschool families, and cooperatives.

ELEMENTS INCLUDE: 

• Teacher instructions
• Creative writing rubrics (teacher and student versions)
• 5-step creative writing formula (25-slide digital unit; examples included)
• Editing and revising student guide
• Writing pages (2 differentiated levels; half-page and full-page versions)

Print off the writing pages, present the slides to students, review the rubric with them, and send them off to write! This can be done individually or in small groups so they can bounce ideas off of one another. Students will submit their finished creative writing stories for teacher assessment.
