How To Write An Imaginative Composition/Essay

Essays are usually divided into two basic types: creative and logical. Creative essays turn around imagination, artistic skills and ability to figure out situations which are far from reality. On the other hand, logical essays are very well structured and oftentimes deal with important topics by employing precise methodology. The main goal of creative essays is to make the reader enjoy them in an aesthetic sense. The aim of logical essays is to solve a definite problem. Hence, both types of essays require different skills, so you should be very well prepared and have some information on how to write an imaginative essay.

How to Write an Imaginative Essay

Tip1. choose the most extravagant imaginative essay topic.

If you have various options to choose, opt for writing on the “most extravagant” topic. The advantages are the following: first, your imaginative essay will be unique in a sense that there will not be another one to compare it with; and second, teachers welcome working on non-standard topics and also non-traditional approaches to the assignments they give.

TIP 2: Start writing an imaginative essay essay when inspired

Don’t wait for too long; start writing when you have some inspiration. This will only be your first draft. Follow your internal feeling of aesthetics. Analysis and reflection are not proper methods for carrying out the task; you’d rather search for associations provoked by the topic/title. Let’s say, your topic is “A day of the raindrop.” What is your first association? Would you speak from first person, or will merely tell a narrative about the raindrop? What situation should be included in your essay? Where does it take place?

Advice : try to pick up an idea that suits you the most, and then develop it. If you start analyzing, then you will probably run out of time.

TIP 3: Be original 

Be original – the situation you are describing could be fantastic, or at least not realistic. A raindrop could live as a human being (like the animals in the fairytales); but it can also have different experiences than ours (to meet aliens, for instance). Still, you should keep the balance between realism and fantasy: the most imaginative essay you could write is a surrealistic one, but it will probably make your instructor unsatisfied with your job.

TIP 4: Avoid indirect speech in your imaginative essay

Avoid using indirect speech in your imaginative essay. We advise you to describe the interaction between the characters of your imaginative essay through a narrative. This will help you save place; otherwise, you will write a long story that no one will read.

Be careful : do not choose a topic which is your personal cause because then you might breach the principle of objectivity. It’s not that your paper must be absolutely neutral; on the contrary, it has to express your personal standpoint. But usually people do not take into consideration information contradicting their views. Your essay could lack veracity; remember that the best persuasion is done through facts.

TIP 5: Incorporate a message

Incorporate a message in the imaginative essay. Literature is produced by human beings for human beings; thus, it should include some message, idea, thesis and so forth. In your case, it is not necessary to have a clear message, but still it is good to write the essay while having a certain idea in mind.

TIP 6: Use figures of speech

Use metaphors, allegories, similes, and other figures of speech. Do not be too “simplistic” in the language employed in your imaginative essay. It is a common flaw of the most contemporary young authors to believe that the style of expression does not have influence on the reader’s mind. On the contrary, the exquisite style always attracts more readers.

TIP 7: Read aloud and revise 

Read aloud your imaginative essay to yourself. This will help you realize some incoherencies or vagueness in it. Revise the paper in order to have a better style and grammar. It is not recommended, however, to change the contents of the essay, as it may affect its quality.

- Make your composition as interesting as you can so that you arouse the readers curiosity.

- This will keep the reader longing for more striking events to come.

Sample composition 1

A terrifying dream.

I had gone to the forest to fetch firewood with my friends. We were busy story-telling and somehow lost track of time. When we realized it was getting late, we hastily started collecting firewood. I was not experienced in this kind of work so I did it at my usual slow pace.

Within two shakes of a lamb’s tail, my friends had collected enough firewood and were ready to leave. Since I was only halfway through, I tried to beg them to wait for me but all my pleas fell on deaf ears. Everyone had other chores to do before  supper time. I watched them sadly as they went away balancing heavy firewood on their heads.

After they had disappeared in the horizon, I continued collecting firewood. Sooner than I had wished, darkness fell. The night was as silent as a deserted cemetery. It was the kind of night that people in my village believed that evil spirits roamed about in the dark. I stood aghast, glued to the ground not daring to move a single muscle because I was afraid of darkness. I then sat on my bundle of firewood and began weeping bitterly, praying that someone will hear my cry.

No sooner had I opened my swollen eyes than I saw a dim light at a distance. I automatically knew that it was my father who had come to my rescue. As the light was drawing closer and closer, I started getting excited. When the person finally arrived, I sighed in relief. The stranger then spoke in a hoarse voice saying, “I am very fond of saving little children. I will therefore take you to my house for the night then in the morning I will take you to your parents.”

Having no better option, I arose to follow the stranger. We got deeper and deeper into the forest then we came to a clearing. A thatched house stood in the middle of this clearing. The man led me in and offered me a stool to sit on. All this time, I had not seen the man’s face as it was very dark.

The man offered me a place to sleep. I was too exhausted that as soon as I stretched on the bed, I fell asleep. I never slept soundly that night partly because of the strange voices I was hearing. With one eye open, I quickly looked around the room and what I saw nearly made me jump out of my skin. In the ceiling board of the house, different types of skulls had been hanged.  There were bones all over the floor of the room and the smell was terrible. Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door.

I felt as helpless as an infant. I knew my only weapon was to remain still and silent. The door slowly opened and what I saw almost made me kick the bucket. At the door stood two creatures. They looked more like monsters than human beings. Their faces were nothing but a network of pimples. They had claws instead of nails, shabby hair and their eyes seemed to have popped out of their sockets. Truly, they looked like the most brutal creatures on earth. I gazed at them, completely terrified and taken aback.

As the creatures moved forward, I suddenly gave out a blood-curdling scream. The monsters simply sneered as they stretched out their claws, ready to pounce on me. I sprang out of bed, leaving my blankets swirling behind me. Cold sweat dripped down my face and back. My heart was beating fast and I was out of breath. I stood rooted on the floor, wondering what step to take next. The monsters were now a few steps away from me. One of them got hold of my shoulders and opened its mouth wide.

Instead of a hungry growl, I heard a sweet golden voice. It was my mother waking me up. I could not believe my eyes for it was only but a dream. 

Sample composition 2

A village attack.

It was a beautiful evening in the village. The cows were coming back from the grazing fields as the sunset coloured the sky. When darkness fell, there was maximum silence that reflected the peaceful environment of the village. Suddenly, the stillness of the night was disrupted by loud bangs on the main doors of houses. The village was under attack. Panic gripped the villagers; men, women and children were running helterskelter scampering for safety. Wails of ‘Ui! Ui!’ from the terrified villagers could be heard.

The village attackers, who had forcefully found their way into peoples’ homes, were armed to the teeth. Some of the men had shaggy hair with evil glints in their eyes. Others had long dreadlocks, blood shot scary eyes and protruding noses. The thieves removed from their pockets well sharpened knives and used them to scare the villagers to give in to their demands. The villagers refused to obey. They united and attacked their attackers mercilessly and in a spur of the moment, quite a number of the attackers lay dead in pools of blood.

Shouts of “Ua! Ua!” from the enraged villagers filled the air. Some of the thieves escaped death narrowly. The villagers caught them unawares and kicked them hard, leaving them sprawling on the ground, writhing and groaning in pain. The thieves produced deafening screams as they pleaded for mercy but all their pleas fell on deaf ears.

From a distance, the siren of the police vehicles could be heard. The thieves were seized by the police before they could escape. They were dragged to the nearest police land rover and driven to the local police station. Women in the village ululated as men sang and danced vigorously expressing their heroic victory. The villagers felt the splendour of their victory.

That was a night they will live to remember.

HOW TO SCORE ALL MARKS IN A KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION

How to earn 19-20 marks in a kcse imaginative composition.

WRITING THE BEST IMAGINATIVE ESSAYS

  KCSE ENGLISH IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION

Have you ever read or written a composition that has the following expressions?

“In two shakes of a lamb’s tail, I dashed to the frog’s kingdom to accuse the dirt …”

“His face was a supermarket/network of pimples” “Two gigantic men kidnapped me …”

“One chilly morning when the birds were chirping and the frogs were croaking …”

Well, as much as some of these expressions may not be grammatically wrong per se, they are clichés that show lack of imagination/creativity and thus will hinder you from scoring a quality mark in KCSE English 101/3 imaginative composition.

This question simply tests your ability to communicate.

Creative writing

According to Wikipedia Creative writing is any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic , academic , or technical forms of literature, typically identified by an emphasis on narrative craft, character development, and the use of literary tropes or with various traditions of poetry and poetics .

The question tests the candidates’ creativity, originality and ability to communicate in writing.

You should ensure that these objectives are met by the end of the course before your learners attempt English 101/3 tests.

By the end of the course, the learner should be able to:

• writelegiblyandneatly;
• aplyspelingrulesandspelwordscorectly;
• usepunctuationmarkscorectly;
• writeclearandcorectsentences,andorganizeideasinalogical sequence;
• communicateeffectivelyinwriting,usingavarietyofsentence structures;
• developparagraphsusingdifferentdevices;
• usefigurativelanguagecorectlyandapropriately;
• usecohesivedevicesindevelopingparagraphs;
• usepunctuationmarksapropriately,competentlyandcreatively;
• demonstratecompetenceinwritingdifferentypesofesays;
• presentinformationinavarietyofways;
• demonstratecompetenceinusingawiderangeofsentencestructures andvocabularytocreatethedesiredeffect.

Therefore, apart from teaching creative writing (imaginative compositions) which is taught in form 3, teachers should ensure the learners acquire other writing skills as well. These include;

• Handwriting-legibilityandtidines
• Commonlymispeltwords— spelingandspelingrules

c)   Sentencebuildingskillsandparagraphing

• i. Writingclearandcorectsentences
• Structureoftheparagraph:topicsentences,suportingsentences, clinchersentences,sequencingofideas,unityinparagraphs.

• S t ud y W r i t i n g : Descriptiveesays,Argumentativeesays,Expository writing,

To help your learners perform well in KCSE imaginative composition, you should teach different types of writing and provide them with ample practice. You should also impress upon them that expository composition is concerned with linguistic ability as it is not concerned with the points.

WRITING A+ KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITIONS

The best KCSE imaginative compositions score between 19-20 marks. Your composition must possess the following in order to fall under this category.

• Intelligibility-able to be understood (comprehensible)
• Correctness
• Accuracy (devoid of errors)
• Fluency (communicates easily/very well/smoothly)
• Pleasantness
• Originality (new and different in a good and appealing way)

NOTE: Linguistic competence carries the most marks in imaginative compositions.

CATEGORIES OF KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITIONS

The category your essay falls under depends on the degree of communication . Other factors discussed below will determine the specific numerical mark you earn.

• D CLASS: (1-5 MARKS) Guesswork-No communication at all
• C CLASS: (6-10 MARKS) Flat-Weak communication because of strain (lacks fluency)
• B CLASS: (11-15MARKS) Fluent-Ease of communication due to greater fluency
• A CLASS: (16-20MARKS) Pleasant-Captivating, creative, has command of language

HOW TO WRITE AN A-CLASS IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION

We all want to write pleasant compositions that fall in A CLASS in order to score high marks.

To achieve that, we MUST write compositions that possess the following qualities.

A-CLASS KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITIONS

• Write fluently and attractively
• Must have originality (new and different)/efficiency
• Make us feel your deep feelings (senses), emotions (strong feelings g. love, fear, anger, bitterness, relief, joy etc), and enthusiasm (strong interest, desires, excitement)
• Should be attractive (pleasant/appealing/interesting)

This falls in the general category of a pleasant composition that score between 16- 20 marks.

This article, however, is meant to help you write a KCSE imaginative composition that will earn between 19-20 marks

In order to achieve this, you must;

• Express yourself freely
• Exhibit no visible constraint
• Exhibit maturity(avoid obscene, suggestive, steamy or graphic description of sexual innuendos or other forms of immorality), good planning, humour (comical/funny)
• Have many items of merit ( correct vocabulary (or jargon-informal language does not score), phrasal verbs, idioms, proverbs, aspects of literary techniques g.

irony, suspense, imagery etc , correct, appealing felicity of expression in whole sentences or paragraphs)

• Show clever arrangement (e.g. flashbacks creating suspense)
• Have felicity of expression (well chosen features in writing/communication)

⚠ ERRORS ERRORS

Avoid the following errors;

• Faulty paragraphing
• Repetition/redundancies (using a word phrase etc that repeats something else and is therefore unnecessary-e.g. bow down, reverse back, colleague teachers, repeat again )
• Illegibility (impossible or hard to read or decipher because of poor handwriting)
• Vagueness (thoughts that are not stated or expressed clearly; in a general and not specific way) Obscurity (unclear, difficult to understand)
• Wrong word order/illogical (lacking sense or clear sound reasoning)or contradictory (inconsistent) statements
• Broken English (e.g. his business has caught down instead of his business is thriving , hunger is biting me, etc)
• Contracted forms (e.g. didn’t instead of did not; NB they may be used in direct speech )

GROSS ERRORS contribute to a lower score and learners whose compositions have the following errors more often than not fail to score over 15 marks in their compositions. Gross errors include;

• Errors of subject-verb agreement
• Serious tense error
• Errors of elementary vocabulary, misuse of vocabulary, wrong spellings of vocabularies (avoid clichés e.g. I ran as fast as my feeble legs could carry me, I took my breakfast in a blink of an eye )
• Punctuation errors e.g. missing punctuation marks (missing final punctuation marks g. full stop is penalized heavily)
• Errors of sentence construction
• Ridiculous use of idioms thus affecting communication
• Misuse of common prepositions
• Misuse of capital letters

TYPES OF KCSE IMAGINATIVE ESSAYS

English 101/3 tests three types of essays;

• Narrative essays: Simply tell a
• Descriptive essays: Paint a picture with
• Expository essays: Just give the facts as per the

Examples of PAST KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITIONS

KCSE ENGLISH 101/3 IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2018

For composition 1(a) you should write a narrative; 1(b) write a descriptive essay.

KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2018

KCSE ENGLISH 101/3 IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2017

For composition 1(a) you should write a narrative; 1(b) write an expository essay.

KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2017

KCSE ENGLISH 101/3 IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2016

KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2016

KCSE ENGLISH 101/3 IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2015

For composition:

1(a) you should write a narrative; compose a story to illustrate the saying;

1(b) write an expository essay. Simply give facts about what you think should be done to reduce indiscipline in schools (Do not write a story)

KCSE IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2015

KCSE ENGLISH 101/3 IMAGINATIVE COMPOSITION 2014

Your essay should not exceed 450 words (about 3 pages of your KCSE answer booklet). Otherwise you risk losing 2 marks.

However, the quality of an essay depends solely on how effectively it communicates.

AMERICAN SPELLING

American spelling e.g. color, labor, center, meter etc is not penalised. It’s only penalised if there is lack of consistency.

OTHER HELPFUL TIPS

Narrative essays

• Understand the setting of the composition in line with the rubric. If the composition is about a crime scene that informs you about the physical setting of

your story. You do not have to start your story on a chilly morning with chirping birds or taking breakfast. Take us to the scene and give us the events that happen before and possibly after the crime.

• Have a simple, clear storyline with an introduction, climax and
• Have a clear, consistent point of
• Be a character in the Use the first person pronoun “I”
• Use direct speech to give your story ‘life’.
• Develop your characters fully (describe them and make it easy for readers to infer their character traits). Have relateable, realistic
• Evoke emotions in the Create an air of poignancy-painfully affecting the feelings (evoke feelings of sadness, joy, sympathy, anger, bitterness, nostalgia etc). Share your deep feelings.
• Uphold morals and avoid praising
• Tell an original story-new and interesting
• It helps to start your story with direct speech, a poem, a song etc if (only if you have not been instructed to begin with certain words)
• Titles are not necessary since they do not add any value to your However, they may make you lose marks if they contain any errors.
• Build suspense
• Avoid oral narratives ( Once upon a time … or fantasies with ogres in the forest- unless you have ever encountered one or know someone who has). Your essay

SHOULD be creative but realistic.

• Must be a If not you risk losing 4 marks! You DO NOT want to lose four hard earned marks, do you?
• Begin or end with the words provided or else you will lose 2 valuable
• Avoid any errors
• Write legibly and clearly

In brief, simply write a story. Tell a story the way you would when talking to your grandma or your buddies.

There is no fixed format so do not copy story lines from books (e.g. the Bible) and movies- this may expose your lack of creativity. Express yourself freely.

Do not cram a composition and cross your fingers hoping that you get a similar one in KCSE.

Expository essays

For expository compositions, we are not concerned with the points, only the linguistic ability.

• Introduce your essay on the first paragraph, write at least four points in at least four separate paragraphs, and conclude or sum up your essay in the last
• Develop cohesive paragraphs for a smooth flowing Use transitional words to link your paragraphs and sentences.
• A paragraph must introduce the main idea in the topic sentence (the first sentence of each paragraph). The next two or three sentences should add information to support this main Sum up the paragraph with a clincher-a statement which

summarises the paragraph before you introduce a new point.

Descriptive essays

• Appeal to the senses of touch, smell, sight, hearing and Explain how something looks, tastes, smells etc
• Create a clear impression in the reader’s Describe someone or something until I see it.

Ending with , I wish things did not end like this.

As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the tranquil meadow, I couldn't help but reflect on the day that had unfolded before me. It had been a day filled with unexpected twists and turns, a day that had altered the course of my life forever. I had embarked on a journey that morning, not knowing where it would lead me. With each step, I ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, its towering trees and dappled sunlight creating an enchanting world of mystery and wonder. I felt a sense of exhilaration and an awakening of my spirit as I explored the hidden paths and secret clearings. And then, amidst the whispering leaves and the gentle hum of nature, I stumbled upon a clearing unlike any other. In the center stood a magnificent tree, its branches adorned with shimmering crystals that caught the sunlight and scattered it in a dazzling display of colors. It was a sight that defied explanation—a sight that seemed to hold the very secrets of the universe. As I approached the tree, a figure emerged from the shadows. Her presence was ethereal, and her eyes were filled with ancient wisdom. She spoke of magic, of dreams, and of the power that resided within us all. She offered me a choice—a choice that would forever alter the path of my life. With a heart full of hope and a sense of destiny, I made my decision. I chose the path of adventure and wonder, of dreams and possibilities. And as I reached out to touch the shimmering crystals, a rush of energy coursed through me, filling me with a sense of purpose and joy. But now, as I stand here in the fading light, I cannot help but wonder if I made the right choice. The world around me has transformed into a place of uncertainty and chaos. The very magic that once filled the air has waned, leaving behind a void that seems impossible to fill. I wish things did not end like this. I wish I could go back to that moment in the forest, to that choice I made with such optimism and excitement. I long for the days of wonder and enchantment, for the dreams that once danced on the edges of my consciousness. But as the darkness deepens and the world shifts around me, I must carry the weight of my decision and hope that, one day, the magic will return and the world will once again be filled with the enchantment I so dearly miss. Until then, I can only hold on to the memory of that fateful day and whisper to the wind, "I wish things did not end like this."
