Scare & Share: A Spooky Storytelling and Podcast Project
Bring Halloween to life in your classroom with a project that blends creative writing, media literacy, and digital storytelling. Scare & Share gives students the tools to craft spooky stories, polish their writing, and then record and share their own mini podcasts — complete with sound effects!
Why Teachers Love It
Let’s be real — students are obsessed with scary stories. Instead of just another worksheet, Scare & Share channels that energy into an authentic learning experience where they:
Discover what makes something scary (and how our bodies respond)
Analyze movie/book clips for suspense and tension
Build stories with the Story Mountain structure
Add rich details with a 5 Senses descriptive writing sheet
Revise and improve with a self-editing checklist
Record their stories on Canva, layering in sound effects and music
Design their very own podcast title page
What’s Included (Student Pages + Teacher Resources)
🎃 Story Ideas Page to spark imagination
👀 5 Senses Writing Sheet for vivid description
⛰️ Story Mountain Planning Page to structure plots
✍️ Editing Checklist for self-revision
🎤 Podcast Title Page Template
✅ Teacher guidance for introducing scary elements, analyzing mentor texts, and guiding recording on Canva
Key Learning Outcomes
By the end of Scare & Share, students will:
✅ Write descriptive and suspenseful narratives
✅ Apply story structure using Story Mountain
✅ Strengthen revision skills with checklists
✅ Gain confidence in reading aloud
✅ Use digital tools to record, edit, and publish audio stories
✅ Collaborate and share stories in a fun, supportive way
Who It’s For
This project is ideal for:
Upper elementary & middle school teachers (Grades 4–6)
Classrooms looking for a Halloween or spooky-themed unit
Teachers who want to combine writing, media, and digital publishing
Anyone who wants to take narrative writing beyond the page
Why It’s Different
Unlike simple writing prompts, Scare & Share integrates writing, speaking, and technology. Students don’t just write — they create, edit, and publish like real storytellers. The final product feels authentic, exciting, and share-worthy.
👻 Give your students a Halloween project they’ll never forget.
