Developing a Creative Writing Unit
Story Arcs Resource sheet
A story arc is a curve representing the chronology of a story from left to right, and the “heat” or “tension,” which usually peaks in the middle, vertically. In story planning and editing, we can draw the events or moments of a story along the arc.
Randomisation
Randomisation Resource sheet
A professional learning resource featuring implementable writing exercises designed to stimulate teacher creativity and build a sense of creative safety in the classroom.
Playful Editing Resource sheet
“Playful editing” is a positive approach to editing and feedback through a variety of activities. When looking at story, style and tone, we don’t have to talk about editing and drafting as fixing problems or mistakes. Instead we can emphasise what we like and what we want, putting the focus on making a story the best version of itself it can be.
