Let’s face it, writing is one of those subjects that can be difficult to teach. Even the most creative, well-spoken, engaged students can sometimes experience writer’s block when faced with writing down all their thoughts and ideas in an organized way. So, instead of handing your students a blank sheet of paper, why not offer them writing prompts?
What are Writing Prompts?
Writing prompts are basically helpful starters to aid children in getting their own creative ideas out onto the paper. Prompts can be very simple to use in the classroom. Starting the sentence for students with a few words, takes the initial fear out of saying the right thing, and helps students focus on their own inner voice.
