Mary Emma’s Writing Tip – A Valentine’s Journey

Writing Prompt

Here’s a writing prompt I used with youngsters when I was teaching the other day.  They had great fun. 

Put a valentine in the mail box.  Think about its journey on the way to the recipient. 

• Where does it go?
• What adventures does it encounter?
• Does it reach its destination in time?
• Will this be a fiction or factual story?
• Will you develop it into a mystery?

If you wish cut a piece of lined paper into a heart shape and write your story on it.  When finished, paste to a sheet of red or pink colored paper and make designs around the edges.

Have fun!
