The second part of the book contains templates with over 30 exciting writing prompts with mapping guides for each one. There are also blank ones included for ideas of your own.

Example writing prompts:
"One day you realize that if you concentrate hard enough you can read the minds... of cats. What is more remarkable is that you realize they are planning to take over the world and make humans their slaves. "

"You have downloaded a new block world game. You set it to survival mode and put it on hard because you want a challenge. When you press start, you are sucked into the game for real. There is nothing in your inventory and you have only eight minutes before it turns into night and the monsters come out."

"You wake up in the morning, and scratch behind your ear - with your foot! You look into the mirror and realize you’ve turned into a dog. "

In the process of learning how to properly put a story together, children will be better equipped to use critical thinking, analyze and deconstruct literature and other written works. Click ADD TO CART and improve your child's writing skills today.
