Superstitions #1 Writing Prompt

The next Friday the Thirteenth is in November and I have a series of lessons on superstitions that I use on that day.  October is also a good month to research and write about different superstitions from different cultures.

For this first lesson, I have students either brainstorm or research a list of superstitions.  They use this list to compose a short story or poem.

The list poem above is my example of how to complete this assignment.  It also lists several superstitions to get the brainstorming/research started.  To download a printable copy and learn more about this lesson, please visit this post on Artistry of Education.
