Bite Size Writing Assignment: Pick a Topic

This week, let your little darlings pick a topic to write a short (or long for bigger darlings) essay about. Fall is in full swing. Here in the Midwest, the colors are coming into full bloom. There are also a ton of animals out and about filling up for the long, cold winter months ahead. Apple crisp is in the oven. Soccer and football season are winding down. The variety of topics seems endless.

Have your young writers chose a topic. Don't forget to remind them that a rough draft is always a good idea and editing before rewriting is essential.

If topics are hard to come by, have them chose from the following list:
 
  • Fall sports
  • Hunting
  • Fall colors
  • What to do with apples
  • I love pumpkins because...
  • Autumn activities
Have fun! Be creative! Happy writing!
