Writing Tools

Writing Prompts

For very young writers:

·                     Have your little writers put down a few words and phrases about the month of July. Ask: What were your favorite things about July? What is your best memory from the month? It can be anything from a day at the beach to a Fourth of July picnic. After some words and phrases are down, help your little writers form a short paragraph. A picture of a favorite event is always a nice touch!

For growing and older writers:

·                   Older students can go into a bit more detail about the month of July. Have them begin by considering some of the following questions: 

• What was the highlight? 
• What was the low point? 
• How do you feel about the month and are you glad or gloomy that it is coming to an end?
• Is there anything you wanted to do that you didn't get around to? (There's still time... the month doesn't end until midnight on Friday!) 

Require older students to write a whole page!

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