TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I love these fun prompts for quick write warm-ups. Thank you!" Grade 5

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Perfect for what I needed!"
Grade 9 - Primarily students with learning difficulties, and on the autism spectrum

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Another fantastic resource! Very easy to use and understand. I highly recommend these materials."
Grade 6, 7, 8

HOW TO USE:

These were used with my high school freshmen but would be appropriate for upper elementary/middle school age students.

- Determine WHERE students will be completing their quick writes

- Review the introductory slides with students first

- Complete a practice quick write together (yes, you as the teacher should write too!)

- Set up a quick write schedule - daily or weekly

- Use quick writes as an opportunity to have students practice revising & editing

NOTES FOR USE:

I have done these daily or weekly. When doing quick writes weekly, students can use their writing work to practice revising and editing their prompt work through out the week to create a final product at the end of the week.

These CAN be done at home, for distance learning (post the slides and use one a day/one a week or during a google meet/zoom session share the screen while students write).
