How many fall prompts are included?
There are 25 writing prompts provided in two formats. You can choose to project them using the PowerPoint, which is great for morning work, or you can print and post them in your writing center.
Why are the prompts separate from the student writing pages?
These fall writing prompts were designed for versatility to meet the needs of your students. By having the prompts separate you can choose for students to write it in their journals and illustrate or choose the picture vocabulary word writing pages in either lined or handwriting line versions.
What added value is there to having picture vocabulary included?
Young writers, especially early in the year, often struggle with choosing what to write about. The pictures help to inspire ideas to get their writing started more quickly. Many students also tend to only use the words they know they can spell correctly. By giving them vocabulary words to start with you encourage them to write in greater detail and help strengthen their writing vocabulary and confidence. Picture vocabulary has proven to be especially helpful for my reluctant writers and second language learners.
