Quick Write: A Rainy Day

Summer isn't all heat and sizzle! Sometimes a rainy day keeps our little darlings indoors. Still, going out during or after the rain can be a fun adventure. Of course, it also provides an interesting topic for our "Quick Write." (NOTE: Make sure there is no lightening before children go out in the rain.)

Writing Topic
What I like about the rain

Writing Tools
For very young writers:
       
          Provide a pencil and lined paper

For growing and older writers:

          Provide a pen and wide- or college-ruled notebook or a laptop/PC

Writing instructions
If there hasn't been any rain in a while, your young writers will have to engage the imagination! If it is raining today, the conditions are perfect to write about the rain.

Instruct your student(s) to observe, think about, or go out in the rain. Then, sit him/her down with the appropriate writing tools and give instructions to write a quick paragraph titled: "What I Like About the Rain." Very young students should be instructed to write words or phrases that relate to rain or what he/she likes about the rain.

Set your little darlings free and allow them to write from the heart!
