Remembrance Day Writing Prompts | Paper or Digital | Canada

Help your students build writing stamina and fluency by giving them a variety of choices for Remembrance Day writing. These no-prep prompts come in a variety of formats so you can use them any way you want. And no matter how you use them, they only take a moment to print or post in your online classroom.

This quick and easy resource includes:

• teacher instructions on how to use the prompts.
• student genre reference page.
• simple criteria for each genre.
• three formats of prompts: full page, half page, and a Google Slides version so you can use the format that works for you (and your copy budget)
• three prompts for each of the ten days (that's 30 prompts) that alternate between different types of writing with a Remembrance Day theme.
• a link to a blog post with more ideas on how to use the prompts.
• references to Remembrance Day in Canada; students may need background information about general Remembrance Day symbols or ceremonies for some of the prompts

These prompts are intended as quick writes (10-15 minutes a day) to increase fluency and interest in writing.

Ninja Note: To access the digital version, download the PDF and click on the link in the file. A copy of the text is included along the side of each digital slide to allow for text to speech software to access the text.

These prompts are different than the ones found in our Remembrance Day Reading & Writing Activities.

They were tested in fourth and fifth grade classes and work great as a start to the day activity or an end of the day wrap up.

Students choose which prompt they want to write about and the writing is not assessed.
