Why do all of my writing prompt assignments feel pointless?

Hey there, GYTO fam….does this sound familiar?

You find a writing prompt that seems intriguing. Your students will love it! You get it all copied and passed out and wait for the amazing responses that are sure to come. But… they don’t always come, do they? In fact, most of the prompts were barely complete or the actual prompt wasn’t attended to properly! What happened? 


I will ALWAYS preach that the writing process can be beneficial for ALL the students, ALL the time. I love to teach my students that the writing process is not just used to write books. It’s not just something we consult. We use the writing process NO MATTER WHAT! 

I can remember feeling like the writing process just sort of went out the window when it came to writing tasks like journal entries, essays, and writing prompts. It doesn’t have to! I created a writing prompt that would allow my students to have enough freedom to write within a topic, but still go through the writing process. 

I found myself needing some grab-and-go writing prompts for those times when we were in between units or when I just needed some sort of quick writing practice. However, I wanted to be sure that my students were still using the writing process, even when using a printable prompt! 

This freebie will last you for an entire month. You can do them whole group, or place them in a center for independent work. You will want to make sure your students learn the writing process chant in order to truly maximize this resource!
