My Writer’s Life: Creative Writing Activities Journal For Kids

Created in conjunction with This Writer’s Life on YouTube, the downloadable, printable “My Writer’s Life” PDF can be used with your child or students and photocopied over and over again!

It’s designed as a resource to help 8 to 12-year-olds develop their sense of themselves as writers and their own unique voices and imaginations—their own writer’s life! These prompts explore different building blocks of storytelling and creativity including ideas, character, setting, storymapping (plot), revision, and more.

It includes a total of 10 creative writing activities! You’ll get a free copy of this PDF by signing up for my newsletter as well.
