Synopsis

This book isn't for everyone. It's fairly, well, weird. However, we like weird, and we have found that most students do, too. Short and Sweet is a book of 28 reproducible creative writing activities. The activities help students stretch their imaginations and have fun with writing at the same time.

Activities in Short and Sweet include:

  • Endangered Pumpkins;
  • 1-900-PIMPLES; and
  • Tabloid Times.

Most activities can be completed in less than a class period, with time left over for sharing. You can stop there or go on to let students complete more finished, polished works. This book is for grades 5-9, but many older students will enjoy the book as well.
