Get ready for an exciting back-to-school activity with ‘My Unreal Holiday’. This resource is the perfect way to kickstart the school year with a creative writing twist.

Your students will have the opportunity to put their recount and/or creative skills to the test. They can choose to either share their ‘unreal’ (extraordinarily good) school holiday or create an ‘unreal’ (fictional) school holiday adventure. The fun then begins when students share their stories with a partner, who must guess what type of ‘unreal’ the story is - whether it is based on actual experiences (fact) or pure imagination (fiction).

Three options are provided in this download: a one-page resource with instructions and peer interaction section, another version excluding the peer interaction section, and then an additional page with no instructions for additional writing space for your eager writers.

‘My Unreal Holiday’ makes for a fantastic and engaging back-to-school activity that will spark creativity and excitement in your classroom!
