The Stroke Of Midnight: A Spooky Halloween Themed Resource For Creative Writing

Includes:

• Plan, structure and organise a spooky story, called ‘The Creepy House’. Take advantage of impressive vocabulary and describe the desolate, ram shackled house and it’s wild, over grown garden.
• Read a second story ‘At The Stroke Of Midnight’ and complete another spine chilling version of your own. This resource is not for the squeamish, but packed with suggestions for spooky vocabulary.
• Read the prompt poem on ‘Fright Night’. Write a spine chilling version to persuade your reader to join the spooky event. Next, write an article reporting on the frightful night, adding fearsome facts and odious opinions.
• Be terrified as you make a poster for ‘Little House Of Horrors’. Use words that are fearfully persuasive, containing chilling vocabulary, to give your reader goose bumps. Next, write a story called ‘The Strange Dream’.

This resource is part of an essential series of twelve mini themed booklets for all children who need additional practice in writing. The Creative Writing Tutor series provides a lively series of themed booklets that will stimulate a child’s imagination and inspire him or her to write in a more interesting way and to achieve better results.
The booklets provide a tutor for the child, fun features and stories to read, follow up activities to complete, harder vocabulary to prepare children for more advanced writing and many helpful tips and techniques to improve writing style. Written by an experienced teacher, they are recommended for use at school or at home by children aged 9-13 years, of all abilities. They are excellent for stretching fast workers and able writers or preparing for writing tasks in examinations.
