This bundle provides 4 weeks worth of printable writing prompt cards for your students to cut and glue into their writing journals. Topics include metaphors and similes, adjectives, detailed descriptions and story starters. Excellent as a warm up or independent practice. Students can draw, write, discuss and edit as you see fit based on grade, ability, time and curriculum. Make writing fun!

This sheet is to use with informational text or fiction. Students decide on the main idea as the showcase attraction, then choose details from the text that support it. Fun to fill in as a warm up, small group activity, or guided practice. I use this as a check-in assessment or exit ticket, or to have students share and compare the details they thought were relevant to support the main idea. It can also be used as an excellent visual to compare and contrast the main idea of two texts.
