About this resource

Help your Grade 7 learner confidently work through their Term 3 Creative Writing Project with this comprehensive, learner-friendly step-by-step guide. The booklet supports learners through the entire creative writing process – from choosing a genre and researching to planning, drafting, editing and presenting their final piece.

The booklet covers:

  • Choosing between Poetry, Folklore, Drama or a Short Story
  • Features and structure of each genre
  • Creative “Idea Sparks” to help learners develop their own ideas
  • Examples of each creative writing genre
  • Research questions and note-taking
  • Mind maps, sequence charts and Venn diagrams
  • Compiling a bibliography
  • Planning, drafting, revising, editing and proofreading
  • Preparing and presenting the finished piece

Learners receive dedicated writing frames for all four genres, including guidance on mood, theme, figurative language, characters, setting, narrator, conflict, plot development and message. The Short Story section also guides learners through exposition, rising action, climax and denouement.

The booklet includes a final editing checklist, presentation guidance, getting-ready checklist, Word Treasure Chest and Certificate of Achievement, helping learners work independently and confidently through every stage.

Designed to be used alongside the learner’s school Term 3 Creative Writing Project. It follows the general Grade 7 CAPS approach while allowing learners to complete their own original work according to their school's specific requirements.
