I had such fun creating this resource here in the UK, after visiting the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studios Tour near London with my own kids, and immersing myself in magic for the day!
Happy Teacher Feedback
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Make Writing Magical says, “My students LOVED this resource. I printed it last minute, made some copies and it was ready to go. We used the large eyeballs and 2 of the writing prompts. We cut out our stories and eyeballs and displayed them together on construction backing. They got to use fancy scissors to cut the border. What was best is that the kids LOVED to share their spooky stories and were proud of this engaging project. Thank you!"
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Laura A. says, “My students were amazed by the outcome of their artwork. The directions to complete the project are great because it has pictures as examples for the students. Next week the students will write their short stories and they are excited about writing! Awesome product!”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Kelly S says, “A fun resource to use with my struggling 5th grade writers. They loved the spooky writing and the art activity that accompanies this resource. I will use this resource year after year.”
