Many students struggle with writing not because they lack ideas, but because they haven’t yet mastered the foundational skills behind writing. Sentence structure, conventions, word choice, and organization all compete for attention at once—and that’s a lot for young writers.

Bring October writing to life with this fun and engaging Crankenstein Writing Activity for elementary students. Designed to pair with the book Crankenstein by Samantha Berger, this resource helps students express themselves through narrative and opinion writing—all while laughing and connecting with a story they love. With prewriting pages, writing templates, and final draft sheets, it’s the perfect no-prep seasonal activity for your October lesson plans.
