A creative writing option to help celebrate all things love in your class, is to have students write a “Missed Connections” Ad from a literary character’s perspective. In these types of personal advertisements, someone writes an ad after meeting someone else but not getting their contact information. In some cases, the person may not have even gotten the other’s name. The ad is written to reach out to this other person and see if they would like to meet again to explore a love connection.
Show students examples of this type of advertisement and then allow time for brainstorming and drafting of their ad write-up.
