 PREFACE
CONQUER CREATIVE WRITING WORKBOOK 1 invites children to stretch their
imagination, enjoy the process of developing ideas and express themselves
through creative writing.

Building the Basics

The children will learn to use words and form sentences through Cloze, Completing

E
sentences and Writing sentences activities.

Focussed Writing Exercises

The writing activities cover varied themes and text types and introduce descriptive,
narrative, expository and imaginative composition writing to aspiring young

PL
writers through visual aids, helping words and questions in Picture comprehension
and Picture description activities.

Developing Writing Skill Sets

Through activities such as Rearranging sentences in the correct order, Creative
response and Creative writing exercises, children learn to differentiate and
organise ideas using methods of classification, comparison and contrast, and
cause and effect.
M
Suggested Answers
These provide more writing ideas so children can learn to relate to other situations
and analyse possible outcomes in order to think and write even more creatively.
SA

• Completing a given passage with their own ideas will help children to
better organise their stories and provide them with a framework that
they can use when writing their own stories.
• Referring to vocabulary lists will boost the children’s vocabulary when
writing about the park, the zoo and the beach, helping them to write
more interesting stories.
• Reading model compositions help children develop new ideas and
strengthen their writing ability.
