2 Grade 9 Creative Writing Examples

I recently asked my year 11s to pen a piece of description and/or narrative writing for their mini assessment. I gave them the following prompts:

Your school wants you to contribute to a collection of creative writing.

EITHER: Write a short story as suggested by this picture:

OR: Write a description about a person who has made a strong impression on you.

The following were two COMPELLING and CONVINCING examples of the second choice – one pupil taking ‘you’ as a fictional invitation, the other as a biographical one:

EXAMPLE ONE:

Gradually, I awake and open my eyes only to see the cracked white ceiling which greets me every day. Here I sit, slumped in the bed with the scratchy white sheets hugging me and muffled beeping noises jumping into my ears. Rubbing the sleep crust from my bloodshot eyes, I observe the scene before me. The sound of footsteps overlapping as nurses rush from bed to bed; the metallic tang from stainless steel invading my nostrils; the cold metal bed rail imprisoning and mocking me; the pungent scent of antiseptic troubling me and the blood-curdling cries and moans utterly terrifying me. Using all my strength, I try to imagine I am somewhere else, anywhere else but here.

Crowds, signs, roars: it was 1903 and the suffragette movement had begun. It was a crisp night, refreshing almost and I had taken to the streets. It was like I was possessed by something that night, some urge and deep desire within me that had led me there, surrounded by women like myself. I stood clueless and lost in the crowd; the women yelling ‘Deeds not words’ in unison; passionately parading with large wooden signs and viciously shattering windows with bricks and stones. Despite the violence that was displayed before me, I was not afraid of what was happening and I didn’t deem it unnecessary or improper, in fact I wanted the same as these women, I wanted equality. Abruptly, all of the roars and cheers became muted and faint, one woman walked slowly towards me, her hair messily swooped into an updo, her clothes somewhat dirtied and her chocolate brown corset slightly loosened. There was a glimmer in her eyes as tears seemed to swell within their hazel pools, she seemed inspired, hopeful. After reaching me in the crowd, she held out her hand, gently passing me a sign. Immediately, I clasped it and the yelling and chanting rang loudly in my ears once more. My journey had begun.

Here however, is where it ends. I am aware I do not have much time left, as the doctors have told me so, and spending my last moments in this hospital room is not optimal. However, as I look around I can see beauty within a room which at first glance seems void of it. The hollow medical tubes by my side remind me of the awful act of force feeding I have faced in the past; the shrieks and bawls of patients reflecting the pain women had felt in my time and the bed bars mirroring the prisons we were thrown into and the gates we would chain ourselves too. I know these things may seem far from beautiful, but I can see my past within this room, the power I possessed and the changes I have contributed to today. I know now that I can leave this earth having had an impact. Slowly I close my eyes, I can see her, the women who changed my life many years ago, her name, Emmeline Pankhurst.

EXAMPLE TWO:

I will never forget that day. The hazel pools of her eyes glazed over, and hands delicately placed at her sides. Nobody in the room could quite grasp the fact that this was happening. The crowds of black attire row on row seemed to mimic the thing she loves most in life, the piano. However, this time she had taken the ivory natural keys with her and left everyone else with the sharp tones. You needed both to create beautiful symphonies but all that filled the room was the excruciating silence of her absense. Even the metronone like ticks of the clock seemed to come to a standstill.

It had all began that day, she seemed to open up this whole new world for us to explore together as she placed my fingers onto the keys for the first time. I knew that this was what I was meant to do. She was the most passionately beautiful pianist I had ever seen in my life. Often, I would peer round the oak doorway before my lessons just to catch a glimpse at her. It seemed like nothing in the world mattered to her at the time.

As the years progressed, so did the scope of this world we were exploring. Each sheet of lovingly handwritten sheet music was like a new section of the map we were slowly creating together. Each of her students had their own map. Each as beautiful and each as unique as the pianist. The crotchets and quavers that adorned the staves directed the different paths we could take as my fingers graced the keys. This may not have been a beautiful ballet routine, but this was our dance and it had been carefully choreographed just for us.

That piano room was the safest place in the world. Every inch of it her: the potent scent of her floral perfume; shelves full of scruffy and well loved sheet music; rows upon rows of framed photos of her and her students; the vintage piano which she always kept in tune, it was home. I couldn’t bear the

idea that someone else was going move in and rip away the music room without a second thought. It was her music room.

It was up to me now. Up to me to finish this journey we had begun together.

She may not be with me in person anymore, but she will always live within the world we built together and nothing could ever change that. For she could never truly be gone since she left a piece of her within every one of her students; the passion for piano.

30 Writing Prompts For 9th Grade Students

What’s up, 9th graders?

Writing’s a big deal, but forget grades for a second.

It’s more like figuring out who you are and how to totally rock your thoughts.

That’s where our writing prompts come in – like training wheels for your writing brain.

We’ve got a bunch of awesome prompts here to get you thinking, writing all sorts of stuff (stories, arguments, even deep thoughts!), and maybe even have a blast doing it.

So, grab a pen, open your laptop, and unleash your inner writing superstar!

Writing Prompts for 9th Graders

How have things changed for the humans and machines?

Your perception of the world is starkly different from that of humans. Write a journal entry as this stray cat, capturing your experiences, challenges, and observations of the human world around you.

Aliens have made contact with Earth and they’ve sent an ambassador to discuss their intentions and establish relations. Unexpectedly, they choose you, a 9th-grade student, to be their human counterpart due to your unique ability to understand their language. Write a letter to the UN Secretary-General explaining your new role, what you’ve learned from the aliens, and your recommendations for next steps.

One day, you accidentally drop in a sketch of a terrifying creature. Write a suspenseful short story about how you handle the situation and the unexpected adventures that follow.

You discover that your best friend has been a time traveler all along.

Write a newspaper article detailing the superhero’s latest daring rescue, the mystery surrounding their identity, and the town’s reaction.

Choose your favorite fairy tale and reimagine it. Set it in the gothic world and replace the magical elements with modern technology or social media. How would Cinderella’s story change if she had an appearance of fear? What if Rapunzel lived in a high-rise apartment building that is floating on a river? Write a modern version of your chosen fairy tale, showcasing how this scenario would affect the story.

Jules Verne took us on an imaginative journey to the center of the Earth. Now it’s your turn. You and a group of scientists embark on a journey to the Earth’s core. However, the world you find beneath our feet is unlike anything ever discovered. Write a detailed adventure log of your journey, describing the fantastic sights and dangers you encounter along the way.

Imagine you have the power to create a new society from scratch. A utopia, where every citizen is content, fulfilled and their mental health being apt at all times. What would this place look like? How would it function? Write an essay detailing your vision for your utopia, including its government structure, education system, healthcare, and social norms.

You stumble upon a time machine and decide to visit your future self ten years from now. The person you meet, however, isn’t quite what you expected. Write a conversation between your current and future self, exploring the surprises and the wisdom your future self imparts.

Suppose you have the ability to switch bodies with your pet for a day. What adventures would you embark on? What might you learn about your pet and yourself? Write a narrative essay recounting your day as your pet, detailing your adventures and new perspective on life.

You receive a large, unexpected package in the mail. It’s not your birthday or any special occasion, and the package is not labeled. Curiosity piqued, you open it to find something extraordinary. Write a story describing the unboxing of this mystery gift and how its contents change your life.

Write about a frightening place. Your response could be real or imagined.

The blurring dazzle of red and white lights distorting my vision; the screeching sound of wheels tearing up layers of tarmac as they move from left to right on the road; the putrid stench of bile rising from my throat: Sunday morning. Our fingers, bruised and red, prying onto the handles swinging either side from the ceiling as the crazed woman in the front throws her prized mini into the sixth gear, tearing through the orderly traffic in her usual disorderly fashion whilst we give apologetic looks to those we force off the road.

Every Sunday; our covers thrown back, a dishevelled lettuce sandwich placed just off-centre on a china plate in front of us, a neatly ironed collar smoothed down, the hasty bundling of Adam and I into the back seat of the mini, followed by the perilous journey to church. This particular morning, after being dragged from my beloved bed, force-fed a revolting lettuce sandwich, and had my collar smoothed several hundred times by four different aunts and uncles, her driving is seemingly worse …

Creative Writing - Story about a Graveyard Soundlessly, I trudged through the perpetual, tortuous pathway. The fluorescent moon illuminated the deserted cemetery, and the overcast sky was enveloped with angry clouds. Despite this, I could see the freckles of silver stars hanging from the sky. The first thing I had noticed when I woke up was the damp grass beneath me, which was quilted with fallen and crumpled yew leaves. When my eyes had adjusted to the darkness, I took account of my surroundings - I was encircled with towering trees with sprawling limbs, which guarded a rusty iron gate that steadily creaked open with the help of a gust of wind. It was only until when I attempted to get up, I felt a dull throb from the back of my head; my hair caked and matted brown, with crimson liquid trailing down the back of my neck. I leaned against a slender pine tree to regain my balance as my vision swam. With a minute's rest, I adventured forward, unsteadily, feeling week and cold - featherlight - like at any moment I could crumble away into ash to be dispersed on to the breeze. I twisted my hands to examine them. What were once deathly pale, were now almost entirely blue....

Alternative transcript:.

Goosebumps littered my arms; violent shivers shook my frame, and my thoughts were racing. I was irrevocably trapped within a labyrinth of a forest. With no way back, I continued forward until I reached the tarnished metal gates. Once I slipped past, I was confronted by a single, endless path, of which the edges were swamped with overgrown weeds and brambles. There were numerous poorly tended and forgotten headstones (which were discolored by mildew, moss, and mold) that were scattered across the landscape. It was slightly foggy along with a rotten stench that filled the air. The graveyard was deadly silent, however there was the occasional cry of wind. I was walking for what had seemed like to be forever. The road appeared to be everlasting. My legs were trembling with the weight of my body, the edges of my vision blackening - I was beginning to lose hope, until, what may have been a hallucination, was a shabby, dilapidated church that was a few steps away. There was an enormous, heavy door which barricaded the entrance. A sudden surge of adrenaline pushed me forward. With all the strength that remained, I shoved the entrance open. Before I could process it, I was hit by a putrid smell. Bile burned the back of my throat, my eyes watered uncontrollably, and I gagged against my will. A brown-mahogany painted the walls of the church. Remains butchered into pieces lay in the corner, organs strewn across the room. Deep and thin grooves covered the floor and damaged pew benches pushed aside. The windows were shattered, with shard fragments that hazardly cluttered the room. I was paralyzed in fear, my inability to move rendered me defenseless. My heart hammered in my chest and breathing became increasingly difficult; dread twisted my gut. My mouth was gaping in a silent scream. Without a delay. I turned back and ran up a flight of stairs, leaving the door hanging open. My boots pounded rapidly across the ground and my mind frantic with thoughts. I ran as far as my legs could take me - past the ramshackle gate, until my body gave out and I landed with a thud on the damp flora, once again. My head hit the ground first; pain shot up my spine and I groaned in agony. Amber liquid oozed from the wound. I tried to lift my arm in attempt to stop the blood from escaping, nevertheless I was immobile, as if I were turned to stone. Exhaustion flooded through me. I needed nothing more than to sleep. To sink into a pillow of darkness. My eyelids fell limp and slumber welcomed me like an old friend...

4 GCSE Grade 9/A* Creative Writing Essays

An element of English loved by some, hated by many, I hope these exemplar essays provide some inspiration for those struggling with writer's block.

Here is a snippet of Essay 1:

Complete silence. The only noise came from the gust of dry wind which blew through the ancient maze of dilapidated houses where windows have long shattered in the weakness of their structures and rotting boards hung desperately to cover the empty eyes of every desolate home. Doors hung on their hinges by a single thread, groaning with every sway of the wind.

I gulped, “Maybe I shouldn’t have wandered so far…”
