Lesson Structure:

1. Introduction

- Briefly introduce the topic of creativity in writing.

- Share the lesson's objective: to learn how to take ideas and shape them into engaging narratives.

2. Warm-Up Activity

- Start with a word related to themes (e.g., "life," "journey," "dream").

- We take turns saying a word that is associated with the previous word.

3. Idea Generation

- Discussion: Introduce brainstorming techniques such as mind-mapping or listing.

- Activity:

-We pick one theme from the warm-up activity.

- Five minutes to brainstorm ideas using the chosen theme, we can use bullet points or a mind map.

- Encourage us to think outside the box and not to judge the ideas at this stage.

4. Turning Ideas into Narratives

- Discussion:

- Share key elements of storytelling (characters, setting, plot, conflict, resolution).
