Description
Need engaging writing prompts that do more than just get words on the page? This set of 40+ writing prompts for middle and high school ELA is designed to spark creativity and push students to reflect, revise, and grow as writers.
Each prompt guides students through multiple writing modes — descriptive, narrative, expository, and persuasive — and then invites them to revise and refine their initial drafts using higher-level thinking and author craft techniques.
Perfect for use as:
- Bell ringers
- Journal prompts
- Skill-building writing tasks
- Writing workshop starters
{SAVE: this is part of my Writer's Workshop Bundle]
Built-In Revision Tasks:
After completing the initial prompt, students are directed to reflect and improve their writing by:
- Expanding ideas with detail, imagery, and figurative language
- Improving diction, tone, and sentence structure
- Rewriting openings and introductions
- Adding dialogue and anecdotes
- Practicing rebuttal and counterarguments
Use the built-in revision tasks right away or return to them during a later bell ringer session for spiral writing practice.
What You’ll Get:
- 40+ unique writing prompts with revision directions
- Editable writing journal pages or slides
- Prompts organized by writing type: narrative, persuasive, expository, and descriptive

See what other teachers are saying about these writing prompts:
♥ These are so thorough and awesome. I love how all the Room 213 products really push the kids to do more, and scaffold it in such a great way. Thank you!
♥ I have loved having this as an addition to my ELA class. It has been a challenge for my students to think more "outside the box" with their responses. I enjoy the fact that we can do just a little bit every day. I had to be careful, though, as I felt like I could have based my entire semester around these writing prompts!
