Halloween Writing Activity – Ghost Rant Writing Funny & Creative Assignment: The Ghost Rant Halloween Writing Activity is a fun, imaginative way to help your students practice persuasive and creative writing with a spooky twist! In this engaging Halloween assignment, students will step into the shoes of an overworked, underappreciated ghost. From pulling endless all-night haunt shifts and rattling chains on command to dealing with inconsiderate guests who refuse to be scared, students will channel their spectral frustrations into a compelling, humorous rant directed at the owner of the haunted house. This makes for a fun Halloween writing activity in October.

Included in the Halloween Writing Activity – Ghost Rant Writing Assignment:

➡️ Ghost Rant Writing Presentation: A 20-slide PowerPoint presentation that introduces students to rant writing with a focus on key features, structure, and tone. It includes examples of ghostly complaints, guidance on crafting a strong hook, tips for using descriptive and emotive language, and examples of effective rants.


➡️ Ghost Rant Pre-Writing Graphic Organizer: This organizer helps students brainstorm their haunting frustrations in categories such as Hours, Coworkers, Working Conditions, Boss, and more. Prompts guide them in organizing their ideas and developing strong points for their rants.


➡️ Ghost Rant Final Draft Template: After planning their ideas, students will write their finished rants on a creative template addressed to the haunted house owner. These make for a fun and eye-catching Halloween classroom display when printed.
