How Do You Recommend Using These Argument Writing Prompts?

Quick writes are intended to be short, low-pressure sprints in writing.

  • Set a timer for 5-10 minutes, read the prompt, and give the students time to write in their journals.
  • Don't be afraid to write alongside them!
  • At the end of the quick write session, invite students to discuss or share their thinking.

Bonus! Quick Writes also result in a notebook FULL of “seeds” to use for a later, more developed piece of writing.
