The Writing Prompts Workbook: Grades 3-4

To make writing more exciting for third and fourth grade students, you need to give them a chance to grow their creativity and imagination. The Writing Prompts Workbook is a collection of imaginative situations and questions that will get your students and children using their brains to come up with wildly creative ideas when they begin to put pen to paper. Bryan Cohen, the author of 1,000 Creative Writing Prompts and 500 Writing Prompts for Kids, has compiled 200 of some of his best prompts for third and fourth graders in this workbook. Use them for journals, assignments, poems, conversations, songs and more.

Examples from the book:

28. Describe how each of the following real world professions might have to use math in their everyday jobs: scientist, firefighter, policeman, teacher and engineer.

43. The television networks have come knocking on your door asking you to write the next great comedy or drama. What do you make your show about and who are some of the actors you would cast in it?

104. What do you think your parents were like when they were your age? Do you think they were the same as you or different from you? Would you and your parents have been friends?
