Even your most reluctant students will enjoy writing time when you use the fun prompts in "Haunted House: Descriptive and Narrative Writing Exercises." In this book, students become tour guides at a local haunted house as they complete writing flexibility exercises that ask them to help advertise the house, interview ghosts, prepare menus for a monster's feast, write scary stories for the company Halloween party, and much more! Along the way, students practice descriptive and narrative writing in a variety of genres, including prose, poetry, letters, question and answer, proposals, and memoirs.
