- 101 Writing Prompts for a Writing Jar
- Great for a "May Do" activity or a center!
- 180 Writing Prompts I Actually Use
- 2000 Years Ago
- A good journal prompt to project if the social studies unit/teacher is discussing farming that day.
- Any Fictional Character
- A prompt to project after or right before talking about archetypes, the role of characters in stories, or much-loved stories.
- Double Entry Journal
- I'd bring out this anchor chart when I want my students' daily journal entry to relate directly to the chapter or book we read that day.
- Draw Your Head
- Another good journal prompt to project during a high-stress week (upcoming testing?) to just check in on how students are feeling/coping.
- Library, Museum, or Zoo
- This would make a nice journal prompt to project during the first week of school, as part of the getting-to-know-you process and also to spark discussions and possibly student-to-student friendships built upon similar interests/values.
- March Writing Prompts
- I've seen these all over Pinterest when I search for writing prompts. There's a prompt calendar for each month. I could project on the board or bring it up on a smart board and have a student cross out the days we've already done. Because there are also calendars for the summer months, I could print those out and give them to students to exercise their writing skills.
- Pictures + Math
- A journal prompt to project that ELs certainly won't have trouble with! Also a good exercise in summarizing.
- Poetry Responses
- An anchor chart that should be redrawn on paper for quality's sake. These questions would be great for reading response journal writing. Would take very little modification to turn them into prompts for any reading assignment.
- Teacher's POV
- This would be a great journal prompt to project for a character unit on empathy, or for a day when I'm absent as a subtle reminder to be good.
- Throwback Thursday
- Could be projected, but I'd probably just write it on the board. Would be a great reflective yet not-too-difficult journal prompt for the last Thursday of school.
- What If
- This journal prompt can be projected to exercise students' predictive and logic skills.
- New WRITE Bingo Card
- I can think of so many ways to use this! Here's one: giving students a take-home journal and pasting this on the inside to encourage journal writing outside of class. Tell students it's a game to be played only off of school property and only one square can be crossed off per diem. For every row, column, or diagonal of five initialed by a parent or guardian, the student gets an extra credit point or a mint.
