Description

Wouldn’t you love to see your students improve their character development in their narrative writing? Take the guesswork out of it with these writing prompts! Your students will be practicing writing moves that develop characters directly and indirectly through sentence starters, mentor texts, and visual writing prompts. Designed to take just 5-10 minutes per day, these slides are quick and easy to assign and go!

Check out the PREVIEW to see what's included, and download a FREE sample here.

Here’s what you’ll get:

Your digital link will come will 30 character writing prompts. Students will be prompted to develop characters by:

  • Describing a character directly or indirectly
  • Writing what a character is thinking
  • Continuing the prompt as the protagonist or the antagonist
  • Listing traits of characters
  • Describing a character using a hyperbole
  • ...and much more!

Prep is quick and easy... Just display the writing prompt on your projector or SmartBoard and have students write in their notebooks, or assign the writing prompt on a digital learning platform and have students type on the provided slides.

A quick tip for teachers...

  • Read the prompt, and set the timer for 5-10 minutes. 
  • Encourage students to keep their pencils moving the entire time.
  • Don't be afraid to write alongside them!
  • At the end of the quick write session, invite students to discuss or share their thinking.

In my classroom, we start our daily writing lesson with a quick write prompt! We use a wide variety of prompts throughout the year to spiral review our writing techniques.
