Writing prompts forum
The answer place for writing teachers
Learning to write requires practice.
Writing practice requires having something to write about.
And having something for students to write about usually means
the writing teacher has to come up with topics for for Josh and
Caitlin to write about.
Figuring out writing assignments for Joshua and Caitlin can be
either marvelous fun or enormously frustrating for a writing teacher.
You can share the fun or vent your frustration with preparing
prompts for student writing in this forum.
Formal prompts that
deal with authentic ELA topics other than literature are rare finds.
Got a great one to share? We'd love to see it and hear how you use
it with your classes.
Perhaps you have questions about using informal
prompts as teaching tools. If you use ungraded writing in class
to foster learning and provide formative assessment, please share
your experience.
Maybe you, brave soul, are even experimenting with using technology,
collaborative work, and writing assignments as part of larger projects.
Whatever your status, you can share your thoughts, questions, and
concerns here.
