Abstract
This study investigates the effectiveness of using multi-modal texts to stimulate Key Stage Three students' creative writing. My research methodology was carried out as an action research project with a Year Nine, mixed ability English class. Through studying various professional publications and wider literature in the field of creative writing, I implemented my own scheme of work, which will form the basis of this research. I will argue for the effectiveness of using a variety of multi-modal texts in order to stimulate students' creative writing.
