I’m Only Half a Werewolf

This Creative Writing Prompts worksheet features a whimsical poem titled “I’m Only Half a Werewolf” from the book My Hippo Has the Hiccups, which playfully describes the experiences of a partially transformed werewolf. The activity includes creative writing prompts that encourage students to expand on the poem’s theme through various perspectives. Students are asked to write a diary entry from the half-werewolf’s point of view, imagine their reaction to discovering a friend is a half-werewolf, and create a narrative about the half-werewolf’s decision to become fully human or fully werewolf. This exercise enhances creative writing skills, promotes empathy and perspective-taking, and encourages imaginative storytelling. The fantastical theme of werewolves makes it particularly engaging for grades 4-6, while also exploring concepts of identity and belonging in a lighthearted context.
