Expository Writing Prompts Fall
Engage students in an expository and creative writing activity that will have them eager to share their product with anyone who will listen!
Similar to the RAFT method, students choose from a menu of characters, settings and prompts on which to base their news story. Space is also provided for illustrations. Students will have a possibility of creating 25 different stories based on their menu choices! Please read below for ONE example of a student's choice.
