Flash Fiction, Storytelling, Writing Challenges, and More!

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Teachers,

Flash fiction is a great tool for engaging young writers.

Because the stories are short, students must take a unique and focused approach to storytelling. It also gives students an opportunity to share their work with classmates and allows teachers to provide quick, targeted feedback.

Sometimes that feedback is simple and direct: “You need a period here, Tim.”

Flash fiction also works well as a warm-up, sub plan, or class finishing activity.

I've included a Google Doc of Activities so you have direct access to everything!

Thank you for all the support!
