Description

Looking for the very best way to get your students writing and loving it? Then, you’ve found the perfect resource! This highly engaging and effective set of This or That Writing Prompts includes 202 writing prompt choices on 101 creative handouts. Each This or That Writing Prompt provides students with two choices for showcasing their writing. After reviewing each choice, students can choose to do the “This” activity or the “That” activity. The choices promote engagement, differentiate the activity, and tap into multiple learning styles. They’re also fun to complete!

Here's an idea! Compile all of the writing prompts into a daily bell ringer writing journal! Students can write in their bell ringer journal before the start of each class!

Students have the opportunity to write news stories, create characters, reflect on their life, imagine new worlds, share their opinions, write with figurative language, and so, so, so much more!
