I introduced a creative writing lesson to my second and third grade students. The creative writing piece explained to the students that:
On Thanksgiving, thousands of turkeys become a delicious Thanksgiving dinner. Your pet turkey is doomed to end up on a Thanksgiving platter if you don't help him.
Write a paragraph describing how you are going to help your turkey by giving him a disguise so that he can be saved!!!
After introducing this to the students they began writing their stories about how they planned to disguise their turkeys!
I am not a turkey, I am a rainbow!
I am not a turkey, I am Darth Vader!
I am not a turkey, I am Cinderella!
Don't forget I am NOT a turkey!! :)
