Winter is an exciting time for children. Our FREE creative writing workbook aims to channel that excitement into a creative response. With nearly 50 pages of winter-themed poetry, prose and drama, Words About Winter is perfect for any child in Years 4, 5, 6 and beyond.
We have included guided exercises in narrative and descriptive passages, found poetry, acrostics, haiku, tanka and five-senses poems as well as storyboards and scripts. We also explore the art of editing and revising our first drafts.
Important as they are, spelling punctuation and grammar are not the main focus here. Words About Winter aims to develop young writers’ imagination and creativity. There is little mention of Christmas. Instead we take as inspiration the beauty of a frosty morning, the mystery of winter’s long, dark nights and the warmth of a blazing fire, crackling in the grate.
This resource is completely FREE and photocopiable. You don’t need to give any information about yourself. It’s an instant download.
