Are your students still talking about Halloween? A little sluggish from candy overload?
Try this fun activity that lets them talk a little more about one of their favorite holidays, yet allows them to practice great critical and creative thinking skills.
You can use the writing prompt in conjunction with a literature or history unit. They'll have to tell about a character's or historical figure's night out trick-or-treating. It's fun and gets them writing. (And it's free!)
This is great for a bell-ringer, exit-slip, or journal-writing activity; or have them write even more and tell an entire story. I included several different printables. To save paper, you can project it and have them use their own journals or notebooks.
Aligned with the Common Core Standards for writing (#10) at multiple grade levels.

What a terrific idea! I actually plan to use this in just under two weeks. Why? We'll be at the Halloween chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird, and this activity fits perfectly! It also will lighten the mood at a very serious point in the novel. Thinking about Atticus Finch's or Miss Maudie's Halloween costume will help them to react more creatively to the story. They won't know they're creating metaphors! Thanks, Tracee!

Perfect idea! We haven't read TKaM yet in class, so I may just have to do this again when we do. Thank YOU for the idea, Kim, and for the positive feedback! :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
