Back to EpisodesWhy October Is the Secret Weapon for Your Writing Workshop Ep. 19
Description
October is pure magic for writing teachers...if you use it right. 🕯️
In this episode, I’m sharing why you should lean into spooky writing this month (and not just because it’s fun). You’ll learn how Halloween-themed prompts can teach real craft skills like suspense, pacing, and voice… and how they can completely turn around reluctant writers.
I’ll walk you through my favorite October classroom activities: persuasive “Change My Mind” debates, Stranger Things-style story prompts, and a hilarious monster real-estate challenge your students will beg to do again.
