Summer Writing: An Attitude of Gratitude

Today's writing assignment is going to begin with a list and end with a few phrases or paragraphs about gratitude.

Writing Topic
An attitude of gratitude

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 paper or a laptop/PC

Writing Prompts

For very young writers:

·                     Have your little writer make a list of what he/she is thankful for. The list can include anything and everything from orange juice to a grandmother's love. Let him come up with the list. After the list is complete, have him pick a few things from the list and write a few phrases or a paragraph (age appropriate) about why he/she is thankful for those things.  

For growing and older writers:

·                 Have older students follow the instructions for very young writers but turn it into a gratitude essay. The idea is to think and write about all the things there are to be grateful for!

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