Secondary Creative Writing: Letter to This Year
Description
This reflective creative writing activity invites secondary students to write a letter addressed to the year itself, focusing on personal, academic, or emotional change.
In Part 1, students reflect on at least one challenge and one moment of growth, making intentional choices about tone, structure, and voice. In Part 2, students transform their writing by selectively hiding words using shapes to reveal a new message or core meaning, introducing elements of blackout poetry and revision.
This resource supports reflective writing, metacognition, and creative risk-taking, and works well for English Language Arts, advisory, or end-of-term reflection activities.
