How the Crumpled Heart Valentine's Day Writing Activity Works:
How the Crumpled Heart Valentine's Day Writing Activity Works:
-
Distribute 30 pre-made worksheets, each featuring a different Valentine's Day-inspired visual story starter, to each student. Instruct them to start writing their own narratives based on these prompts.
-
After a predetermined amount of time, instruct the first writer to crumple their story sheet into a "heart" and throw it to the front of the room.
-
Encourage all students to gather at the front and select one of these "crumpled heart" stories to continue writing from where the previous writer left off.
-
Repeat steps 2 and 3 twice more, introducing further creative twists to the narratives.
-
Eventually, return the stories to their original authors. Instruct the students to engage in the essential steps of editing, revising, and crafting a final copy of their narratives!
Students always have so much fun with this, and they usually can't believe you are letting them crumple up their stories!
