Building Suspense-Creative Writing-Guided Writing
- Google Slides™
What educators are saying
Description
"I am really freaking myself out!"
"Me too!"
"This is fun but terrifying!"
That is what my secondary ELA students said as we worked through this activity!
Creating tension and suspense is a skill that takes work to develop and refine. And this resource is the perfect place to start!
A series of 13 questions (For example, What unusual smell did the character notice? What questions were racing through the character's mind?) guides the writer as they build suspense.
This Google Slide has 2 built-in timers (one for 5 minutes to start and end the writing and one for 2 minutes to be used for each question) and it is fully animated for presentation mode.
This resource also comes with instructions for the teacher so you are ready to go!
