Creative Writing Challenge 1
Story starter! She had been tracking the deer. Her parents had taught her how. One hour before, finding the hoof prints in the soft earth, she had followed the trail of broken twigs and occasional nibbled leaf until she had located it. Creeping slowly and quietly, not making even the slightest sound, she remained undetected. She had stumbled across the mysterious circles in a clearing in the forest, and watched as the deer approached them. With a slight twitch of its ears, the deer stepped indifferently through the first circle, and vanished. Completely vanished. The girl let out a gasp, and walked towards the circles to investigate… Can you continue the story? Does the girl step through the circle? What happens? How will the story finish? |
Creative Writing Challenge 2
Use the story starter and questions below to write a short story about the picture above. Story Starter! Sean wasn’t sure if he was the only person who had heeded the warnings. A great flood had swept over the planet, and now life was very different… (you can change his name if you want to….!)

Creative Writing Challenge 2CATCH IT!Click on the link below to watch the 5 minute film about a group of meerkats living in the savannah. One day, their peaceful existence is disrupted by a vulture intent on stealing their pride and joy. Will the meerkats be able to get it back? https://www.literacyshed.com/catchit.html
Tell the story (or part of the story) from one of the meerkat’s point of view – so using the first person (I). Describe how it feels to be in the African savannah, so that the reader can really imagine what it’s like to be there… |
