Candy Store...Now Closed (Intermediate Creative Writing)

Power, popularity, and the fallout when friendship breaks—this collaborative creative writing unit asks small groups to build a five-part story about three school bullies whose reign collapses. Inspired by the energy of Heathers, students take on group roles (Character Designer, Lore Master, Plotter, Writer) and craft a multi-perspective narrative where each bully tells their own version of the truth. Includes character creation sheets, setting guidelines, plot outline tools, a 30-second icebreaker commercial activity, and a full teacher's guide with rubrics and pacing support. Perfect for intermediate creative writing, workshops, or sub plans. No prep stress—just print and go.
