Scene: Farewell Are Always Hard (Beginner Creative Writing)

What happens when you have to say goodbye to someone you love? This beginner creative writing unit uses the "farewell" scene from The Vampire Diaries to inspire a solo short story. Students start with a personal "Writer in Me" introduction (skippable or expandable), then create a character, build toward a final goodbye, and write a narrative where farewell is final but doesn't always mean death. 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.
