No matter the age, the topic can be the same (see topics below). Simply adjust the nature of the assignment!
For very young writers:
Have him/her choose a topic. After a topic is chosen draw a brainstorming diagram with one circle in the middle of the page for the main topic and ideas branching off from that. Then, help him/her fill it in with ideas that have to do with the chosen topic. For the written work have the student write a few sentences. Make one the topic sentence (main idea) with a few more sentences before the concluding sentence (wrap it up). If the student needs help and there are older kids in the house, put them on the task.
For older/independent writers:
Have him/her choose a topic. After a topic is chosen draw a brainstorming diagram with one circle in the middle of the page for the main topic and ideas branching off from that. The student should be able to write a paragraph about the topic (or a whole page if you prefer) independently.
Let the student(s) have fun and be creative! For very young writers you can narrow down one of the topics. Also, allow students to come up with his/her own topic about nature if he/she prefers.
