Song: Let It Run (Beginner Creative Writing)

What happens when someone who's played it safe their whole life finally lets go? This beginner creative writing unit uses Canaan Cox's "Let It Run" to inspire a solo short story about vulnerability, freedom, and emotional risk. Students start with a personal "Writer in Me" introduction (skippable or expandable), then create a character stuck in routine, introduce a force that pushes them out of their comfort zone, and write a narrative where they must decide whether to keep holding back or finally let it run. Includes character sheets, outlining guides, and a full teacher's guide with rubrics and pacing support. Perfect for beginner creative writing, workshops, or sub plans. No prep stress—just print and go.
