In writer's workshop, I try to make sure my students have an engaging mini-lesson followed by writing practice each and every day. Even with the best of intentions, however, this doesn't always happen. For days when time is short and I want a quick assignment, or I have a guest teacher in my classroom, I rely on writing prompts for my students to get their daily dose of writing.
So that I'm not left scrambling for the perfect writing assignment, I've created a set of writing prompts I can choose from for each month of the school year. These prompts stand alone, which means they don't need an accompanying mini-lesson and my students can complete them independently. Easy to use with minimal planning needed — what could be better?
This week I'm happy to share with you a collection of my favorite spring prompts. Below you will find writing activities that work well with a wide range of students. Most can be completed in a single class period.
