Scene: A Shift in Parenting (Beginner Creative Writing)

What happens when a parent chooses to break the cycle? This beginner creative writing unit uses the "shift in parenting" scene from Bob Hearts Abishola to inspire a solo short story. Students start with a personal "Writer in Me" introduction (skippable or expandable), then create a character, explore generational patterns, and write a narrative where a parent realizes they don't want their child to experience the same pain they did. 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.
