Description
Grab a notebook, loose-leaf paper, or your digital device and start writing at home!
These writing prompts are designed to build writing stamina, help students develop a lifelong love of writing, and learn some cool writing strategies along the way.
They are quick, simple and stress-free.
HOW TO USE THE CARDS:
- Have students grab a notebook or digital device to write with. Feel free to have them decorate the cover of their writer's notebook to personalize it!
- Give students a prompt each day. Have them copy the prompt at the top of a clean page. Add the date and start writing!
- After writing, invite students to reread their writing and make any changes they see fit.
- Try getting students to write for 20 minutes at a time. If they start at 3 minutes, that's okay! Shoot for 4 minutes the next day.
- Students can add to any of their writing in their journal each day. They may spend 10 minutes on a new entry and another 10 minutes adding ideas to a previous day's work. Writing is continual.
