McRaeWrites

When teaching English, I often use free writes to focus on what the specific class I'm teaching needs in terms of grammar and spelling. While they can be time-intensive in regards to marking and adding editor's notes, they are invaluable as a tool to show me where I need to focus on in my lessons. I also often creative spelling tests or vocabulary sheets based on what words I find misspelled. Overall, doing several Free Writes a year has been invaluable for me as an English Teacher

This is a quick and easy set of questions to help students create the three character types - one flat/static, one round, and one dynamic. I use this as a precursor to having students write a full short story so they aren't going in completely unprepared. I also use this in tandem with my Setting/Genre/Mood/Tone and Themes Questions Package.
