This is a qualitative classroom-based investigation in Brunei Darussalam that studies the impact of visual and auditory prompts to develop students’ creative voice in idea production and development. Prior to the intervention, students had difficulty in forming detailed, original ideas and expressing these ideas vividly, which is a key element in making stories more believable. A sample of 4 secondary students (3 males, 1 female) aged between 14-16 years were selected based on the criteria of completing all assigned writing tasks for in-depth analysis. The students’ narrative work was collected at three data collection points: Pre-intervention, Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. In the pre-intervention, students were instructed to draft a narrative story. Meanwhile, in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2, multi-sensory prompts were introduced as a pre-writing activity for students to brainstorm and express ideas freely. Students then make any additions or changes to their previous drafts. Through thematic analysis using an analytical framework adapted from Mozaffari’s (2013) rubric for creative writing and Burroway’s (2015) elements of imaginative writing, students' work from each data collection point were compared to determine the extent of differences in the vividness and depth of descriptions included. As a result, there is qualitative support in the students’ ability to create more convincing worlds and characters in their stories, specifically in visual and aural descriptions. Furthermore, there were more observations of experimental language in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2. In conclusion, the use of multi-sensory prompts as a pre-writing activity can be adopted to teach for creativity.
