Instructional Ideas

  • Review and brainstorm a few ideas for each prompt to activate the writing process
  • Allow learners to choose which prompt they wish to write about 
  • Groups pupils according the the prompt they are responding to obtain additional support from their peers 

Classroom Considerations

  • The prompts are the seventh resource in a series of eight created in part of a third grade substitute lesson plan 
  • Requires copies—several of each page

Pros

  • Prompts encourage imaginations and reinforce writing skills
  • Provides adequate space for class members to write directly on the page 

Cons

  • None
