Using Our Creative Writing Wheel
This creative writing wheel takes just a bit of preparation and then can be used for years! Here is how to get your students writing:
Directions:
- Print and cut out the spinners and arrows. We recommend printing them on cardstock and then laminating for longevity.
- Attach the arrow with a brad so it can spin.
- Provide students with the spinner of your choice.
- Students spin the spinner and write a narrative story based on the prompt they land on.
