When teaching math, we teach our students new skills, give them practice opportunities in class, and send them home with even more practice for homework. This makes me wonder….”Why don’t we do the same for writing?” Each week, students get a writing prompt based on the genre we are currently working on in class (Narrative, Informational, or Opinion). With this writing prompt, students are expected to brainstorm ideas, write a first draft, revise and edit their work, and rewrite a final copy. The first week of writing is included below.
