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:

May 4th: Today is National Weather Observer’s Day. Describe what the weather is like today. Include things like wind, sun, clouds, temperature, precipitation.

OR

May 9th: Today is National Sleepover Day. Design an invitation to a sleepover. Include location, day, time, and activities.

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!
