Horror Unit Bundle | Narrative Writing Mini-Lessons and More | Scary Story

Beware! Many approach the horror genre with devilish glee. Push students to craft psychological thrillers rather than reproducing cheap, meaningless gore and gratuitous violence. Encourage students to steer clear of tired clichés—killer clowns with their crusty, white make-up and painted on smiles unless, of course, student authors develop killer backstories and motives to match. Emphasize that every story—especially horror stories—must have theme. Packed with mini-lessons that put fire their eyes, writing tips, poetry explication, paperless games, and more. Prepare for a Scare Fair. Teach my Frankenstein Unit next. Follow me for more teacher and tutor tools. Thanks for visiting. Happy Horror Unit!

Please note that while some may opt not to write horror stories, those students can still use my Horror Unit to craft mysteries, thrillers, fantasies, action adventure, sci-fi, realistic fiction, and dystopian stories.

Note to potential buyers: I am in the process of making these into Google Slides. Watch for updates. I will have this ready before October, so you can plan for next year. This will also include other resources--not listed here yet.
