(English Language Arts, Writing Prompts, Quick Writes, Common Core State Standards)
50 Setting Collections

Prompts: Notebook Pass
50 Pins
Prompts: Notebook Pass / PARTNER WRITING: For this writing exercise, divide students into groups of three. Each student selects one photo before following on-screen instructions. Time Frames for Each Mini Writing Session: (1) Allot five minutes for the opening. (2) Let students pass papers and read for a minute or two before setting the timer for five more. (3) Give students twelve minutes to add reflections or a takeaway lesson. (4) Allow twelve minutes for students to read, edit, revise and title the piece.
50 Poster Lessons
50 Pins
50 Poster Lessons / EMBEDDING QUOTES: Whether students are writing to satisfy SAT requirements or to support a claim made in a persuasive, expository or argument piece, using quotations is a great way to add sophistication to writings. One way to help students invoke quotations quickly and to punctuate them properly is to assign several poster quotes as Writers’ Notebook free writes. Simply instruct students to (1) copy the sentence frame below the poster, (2) insert the quotation, and (3) write for twelve minutes.

25 Prompts: Adjectives
25 Pins
25 Prompts: Adjectives / ADJECTIVES: Add authenticity to writing pieces by incorporating a specific time (8:23 PM vs. 8:00 PM) and a color or implied color (red wagon vs. rusty wagon) into writings. Use this formula to help students practice using strong adjectives: (1) Create a CHARACTER NAME (e.g. Jeremy French), (2) Use a TIME AND COLOR from the boards below to modify nouns (as shown), (3) Free write for 12 minutes. Note: The AP Stylebook prefers a.m. and p.m. while the Chicago Manual of Style prefers AM and PM.
Prompts: Best Foot Forward
55 Pins
Prompts: Best Foot Forward / POINT OF VIEW: Students assume the identity any character below and write a snapshot that will stir the curiosity of their readers.
Prompts: Quick Writes
25 Pins
Prompts: Quick Writes / RANDOM WORD QUICK WRITES: Quick writes are three to ten minute exercises that give students a non-threatening way to practice craft and conventions. The exercises showcased here are "RANDOM WORD COMBOS" featuring active VERBS and color ADJECTIVES. The writing pieces generated from each prompt do not have to refer to the photos. Students simply write three capitalized words at the top of a notebook page and write for ten minutes.
