Instructional Ideas

  • Assign one of the prompts for learners to complete as homework over the course of a week, writing one paragraph a night
  • Place in a sheet protector and use some of the prompts in writing centers

Classroom Considerations

  • Tailor the writing prompts to meet the needs of class members
  • Prompts assume writers are familiar with narrative writing techniques

Pros

  • Includes a variety of topics to choose from

Cons

  • Does not include a rubric
