Description
This product includes 30 different daily writing prompts (that includes weekends too!) In order to keep the prompts engaging and fun they change topics everyday AND cover a variety of writing styles. Students will write stories, lists, jokes, letters, cards, opinions, procedures and more!
The prompts are based on a holiday that falls on that day. For example:
April 14th: Today is International Moment of Laughter Day! Write some jokes for your family members to make them laugh.
OR
April 23rd: Today is National Take a Chance Day. Write about a time you took a chance and tried something new, even if it was scary.
The prompts are printed as strips, so you can cut out prompts and students will either glue them to the top of a writing paper or glue them into their personal writing journals.
These would also work well in a writing center or early finishers activity.
I included several writing papers that may be helpful for the prompts such as story paper, lists, Venn Diagrams, beginning/middle/end, and so on.
****** DISTANCE LEARNING ******
This is a great way to keep students interested in writing during distance learning. For my class I expected students to write for 20 minutes each day while at home. I found that students were becoming unmotivated to free-write once they ran out of ideas; and parents weren't always sure how to help.
This was my solution! I emailed the daily prompts to parents and they can easily print the paper and/or read the prompt to their child for them to respond. It is straightforward and does not waste very much paper!
