To teach Creative Writing to students, first we (teachers) would explain that writing creatively come from how you (in this case, the students) think, feel and recall memories, it is about your interests as a person. Continuing on from there, we enable the students to make a brainstorm ideas for their writing, perhaps all together or in pairs, or just alone. Then we require them to make a plan and first draft. Rather, as a challenge, we may give them a topic to talk on, to write a story about or to generally make up as they go as believably or unbelievably as they like.

For instance: Turtles Shouldn't Rollerblade - based on a true story.
