The Halloween Clown Horror Story - Creative Writing Lesson

The Halloween Clown Horror Story

A fantastically engaging lesson with arresting imagery. Students write a Halloween horror story with the following scenario:

On a stormy Halloween night, you and your friends set off to attend the school Halloween ball.

You make your way through the storm in good spirits and arrive at school looking forward to the night.

However, it is clear there is something wrong. You hear what appears to be evil laughing outside the school window behind you. You and you friends turn around and…

An evil clown jumps up at you!


What happens next? You decide!

(I changed the lesson scenario because some students in one class wanted a scarier story. The above version, may be more suitable to younger audiences.)
