Looking for a way to make English lessons for teens exciting and interactive? I wrote a teen-friendly mystery story on Wattpad that can be used as a springboard for reading, speaking, and creative activities in the classroom.
The story follows a group of young Earthlings who are suddenly taken by an alien named Wishwash and his crew. They are challenged to make rules that could save the planet, face visions of the future, and debate ethical dilemmas — perfect for sparking creativity, discussion, and writing practice.

How to Use My Story in Your Lessons
Here are some ideas that I’ve tried with teen groups:
-
Shared Reading & Role Play: Divide the story into sections and have students read aloud, taking turns to act out characters.
-
Discussion & Debates: Ask questions like: “What rule would YOU make for Earth?” or “Which problem on Earth should we solve first?”
-
Creative Writing Prompts: Students can write their own endings, diary entries as one of the abducted Earthlings, or letters to Wishwash.
-
Visualization & Sketching: Students draw the aliens, the visions of Earth, or their imagined rules while listening.
-
Earth Council Activity: Let students design a set of rules for a better world, debate them in groups, and present them.
Why This Story Works for Teens

Your Turn
Now it’s up to you! You can take the story in any direction that fits your classroom. Use it as a full lesson, adapt parts for discussion, or let it inspire your own creative activities. Whether it’s reading aloud, role-playing, designing new rules for Earth, or writing your own endings, the story is flexible and ready to spark imagination and critical thinking in your students.
For now, you can explore the story directly on Wattpad and see how it might inspire your teaching.
