7. Character Creation
Flesh out characters in a narrative, or use this sheet as a one or two day writing assignment for students to create a character.
8. Food Poetry
Students can write a poem about food, or you can randomly assign food for students to examine and then write about.

Flash fiction is short, but students must ensure that all components of a story are present. This activity is perfect for working on editing and revising because every word must count in flash fiction.
10. Children’s Book
The children’s book is incredibly flexible because you can determine the length and the requirements (pictures, format).
