Story title ideas for my creative writing class?
I teach a high school creative writing class to freshmen and sophomores. Sometimes what I do for the class is write down story title ideas and put these ideas in a hat and my students draw out a title and they write a story on it. I'll be doing this for my classes on friday. So I'm looking for some ideas for story titles that my students can write a story on. Right now I'm teaching fiction so my students will be writing a fictional story. My students seem to like the idea of drawing out a story title. I think it helps them get their creative juices flowing! Does anyone have any ideas for some story titles I could use for my students? So far I only have about 7 or 8 titles I can think of. Any ideas are welcome!
Creative Writing Ideas?
Your first/favorite pet When and how you discovered Santa/the Easter Bunny/ the Tooth Fairy was not real Your version of the life of a wierd/eccentric neighbor/relative The real life of a nerdy romance author What your dog/cat actually hears when you scold him OK, I've run dry. Hope one of these sparks your creativity.
I completely suck at creative writing?
I usually achieve high grades in school in my writing classes. Lately, I've been trying to keep a journal for myself, so I can get better at more creative styles of writing. Problem is, I totally blow at it. Okay, so it's got some ideas in it, but the writing itself is just painfully boring and amateur. It all tends to be the same thing, the same jumbled mush (with a little bit of my own personal angst). I'm not even writing characters and plots right now; I'm just taking on a few writing prompts. You can tell me "more practice" all day, but that isn't really going to help me improve. I need well-directed practice.
