Daily Lenses 1-4

While I have always known the value of frequent writing, I became particularly inspired to incorporate more creative writing experiences after attending several English conferences on the importance of writing. Widening my perspective on writing, I concluded that writing is writing, and not all writing has to be in the form of an essay!

I developed what I call the "Daily Lens" which allows students a creative opportunity to write for 10 minutes at the start of the period. When I started incorporating fun, thoughtful, creative, comical, personal, and insightful prompts to the start of my class, I realized that even my quiet and reserved students wanted to volunteer their responses!

In Daily Lenses 1-4, you will receive over 200 daily writing prompts that include important tools of connotation, dialogue, story-telling, advertising, list-making, conversation-building, plot development, journalism writing, image creation, and so much more! I am also including my rubric, which is editable for your own class. In my class, we complete 25 Daily Lenses per each quarter, and I give 50 points each quarter for quality submissions. Please see my blog for student samples and explanations of how I incorporate the Daily Lens https://jamiemozzone.org/daily-writing/ .
