Look at the picture in the thumbnail. Who lives here? Where is it? Is the inside how you expect it or something different? 
If your learner is intrigued, then you should stop into our Creative Writing Weekly Prompts lesson.
Each week learners will be provided with either a picture prompt (like the thumbnail) or a written prompt (e.g. "It was the day the moon fell") and all activities for that lesson will focus on this prompt. Prompts will change every few weeks, depending on how much time needs to be spent on each prompt, as will the activities.
The class aims to encourage a love of writing in learners and give them a safe space to share their ideas with like-minded individuals. We want to get their imaginations firing so they create beautiful works of fiction! We will cover a range of genres throughout our lessons, such as (but not limited to) adventure, fantasy, history, mystery, and much more!
Because of the endless possibilities given by the different prompts, many different types of writing will be covered and this will vary from week to week. This allows your learner to practise and develop many different writing skills.
A lot of the lesson will be based on a discussion of the prompt, with children being encouraged to share their ideas with their peers and the teacher. Classes are usually split into 15 minutes of initial discussion, 30 minutes of writing, then 10 minutes of sharing ideas.
All prompts will be posted in the classroom ahead of the lesson so children have time before the class to examine it and think of ideas.

Week 1:  Eye of the Storm Topic - Mystery/Story Writing
During this lesson, students watch a short video called Eye of the Storm which includes a mysterious individual and their pet dragon. We will discuss the video and look at how the scene is set to make it part of the mystery genre. We will also discuss any questions the video brings to mind. Finally, children will have the opportunity to write the opening for a mystery story. 
Week 2:  Eye of the Storm Topic - Mystery/Letter Writing
Again we will be focusing on Eye of the Storm. This week we will be constructing a letter from the mystery pilot to his family saying goodbye and explaining his plans.
Week 3:  The Mammoth - History/Inference
This week we will be focusing on a picture prompt of a mammoth perfectly preserved in ice... which is beginning to melt. We will be looking at what this picture tells us about what has already happened and what will happen. The children will create a storyboard of their ideas.
Week 4:  Tiny Dragon - Fantasy/Character Creation
During this lesson, the class will brainstorm ideas around a picture of a tiny dragon. From this, children will create their own character profile of a tiny dragon, deciding on aspects such as intelligence, nature, magic and much more!
