This works very well as a means of introducing creative writing. You print out as many copies as you need, trim, and ideally laminate. It can be used in conjunction with my 'descriptive and narrative writing' mega pack available in my shop, or as a stand alone. Give the students all 12 slips in a plastic envelope. Tell them to look at each and rank the 'ingredients' on each slip is order of most importance. It's great fun to do as the students start to realise that structure, clear plot and focus are vital. Also good to see them rearrange and reorder their rank order. Lots of follow ups for this - create their top ten 'things to avoid when writing a story', write a story which covers the 12 top elements to include...have fun!
