Thanksgiving Endless Creative Writing Prompts

Never come up with a creative writing prompt again with this Thanksgiving-themed storytelling unit! Using the 'somebody wants but so then' (SWBST) approach, this comprehensive LOW PREP resource includes Thanksgiving cards, creative writing graphic organizers, writing rubrics, and more.

It makes a great addition to your Thanksgiving or holidays unit studies; writing lessons or centers; or just for fun. Perfect for first grade, second grade, and third grade classrooms, homeschool families, and cooperatives.

After printing the cards, select which graphic organizers you would like students to use, review the rubric with them, and send them off to write. This can be done individually or in small groups so they can bounce ideas off of one another. Students will submit their finished creative writing stories for teacher assessment.
