St. Patrick's Day March Leprechaun Creative Writing Point of View Theme NO PREP

These NO PREP Google Slides are a fun way to have students write from a unique perspective using the first person point of view and incorporate a theme into their writing. It is called Tales from Emerald Isle: A Leprechaun’s Chronicle. The ELA learning targets on slide two are: write in the first person point of view from a unique perspective, and incorporate a theme into your creative story. The slides review point of view and theme. Then, the students do some brainstorming. In the end they write 5 chronicle (diary) entries in the first person point of view from the perspective of the leprechaun. They incorporate a universal theme into the story about the adventures of the leprechaun.When my virtual middle school students did this activity, it sparked their imagination and proved to be an entertaining way to get them to add themes to their narrative stories. The month of March was a fun time to do this lesson, leading up to St. Patrick’s Day. There is a self-reflection on the last slide, which has an editable grading rubric. Also included is a completed assignment, so students can see a good model of how this digital writing activity is done. Enjoy!
