Writing Activities - 21 Writing prompts for engaging narrative, expository, and even poetry about trash. Reduce, reuse, recycle writing ideas. Fun to use anytime, but also a good Earth Day project or when studying ecology or conservation. Differentiated writing activities that can be used in various ways for whole group, cooperative learning, or as a literacy center. You can show the individual slides to a whole group as a class writing activity. Also, you might prefer to print the slides and divide the activities between small groups, and give students a selection of cards to choose from. In addition, the slides can be printed out on index cards and laminated to be used in a literary writing center. If you make a center, consider putting a trash can in it filled with interesting junk to inspire writing ideas. However, you decide to use them, I hope you will enjoy the wonderful writing your students will create, and that they will enjoy writing and be proud of their accomplishments. A rubric is included on the last slide. Enjoy!

Hi. I am very interested in your writing packet. I am doing a unit for my 1st graders on garbage and the 3 R's. Would these prompts be appropriate for a 1st grader?

Hello! To be honest, I have the prompts marked for third grade and above for independent writing. However, with scaffolding and support, I think many of them could be used for first graders, as long as they have guidance. There is nothing inappropriate, but the tasks could be challenging. For instance, I think they would need assistance with background knowledge with writing a conversation between two pieces of trash or writing a trash glossary or a job description for a garbage man.
