Writing Prompts- they can be cute but looks can be deceiving!
Yes, they have their place and may be a needed activity for our elementary and middle school students in order to prepare for testing or other situations, BUT
They should not be the only writing students are doing on a daily basis!
In this episode, I explain the limitations of prompts, such as their failure to foster independent writing skills and their inability to engage students meaningfully.
You will also hear practical strategies for transitioning away from using prompts, emphasizing the importance of teaching students to generate their own ideas and connect personally with their writing.
I suggest ways to scaffold learning while nurturing a classroom culture where students see themselves as writers.
Specific tips include:
- engaging students with different writing genres
- allowing them to abandon pieces that don't work
- and providing support where needed to build their confidence and skills
