How often do you hear your pupils cry ‘what can I write about?’ 1001 Brilliant Writing Ideas offers teachers endless ideas and inventive suggestions, opening up new opportunities for creative writing lessons. With over a thousand different ‘story-starters’ across a vast range of genres and narrative styles, this versatile book provides food for thought for pupils of a wide range of ages and abilities. This highly practical and richly illustrated photocopiable resource: • • • • • addresses the ‘blank mind’ problem, offering pupils a plethora of storywriting ideas and suggestions; enables teachers to inspire pupils who struggle with creative writing; provides prompts to set ideas into motion, whilst leaving plenty of scope for original and creative thought; challenges pupils, encouraging them to use higher-level thinking skills; offers mix-and-match stimulus pieces that can be used independently or put together to give pupils more or less support as required.
