Improve Grammar & More! 6 Christmas Writing Prompts with Handwriting Lines

By Agee and Row Classical Music Appreciation

When it comes to writing, suggesting prompts can be extremely helpful for students. By providing a prompt, you can give students a specific topic or area to focus on, which can help them better organize their thoughts and ideas. Additionally, writing prompts can help spark creativity and encourage students to think outside the box.

There are six Christmas-themed writing prompts, with coordinating primary handwriting pages included. Students can also illustrate a scene in the space above their writing.

Not only will using writing prompts help get your students excited about writing, but it will also help them to practice and improve their skills. By focusing on specific areas such as grammar, punctuation, and spelling, your students will hone their technique and produce well-written pieces of work. They’ll also be able to develop their unique voice and style – something essential for any writer!

Group Creative Writing: Practice Character, Setting, Conflict, & Resolution

By E•Fish•ient Teaching

This is such a fun creative writing activity. This activity has students work in a small group to create a fun and unique story. They will be passing around their writing outline to their group of 5. The first student will choose a character and their characteristics. Then fold the paper down so the next student cannot see what they have written. Student 2 will decide the setting and then fold the paper down again. This will continue to student 3 and 4 where they will choose the conflict and the solution. Then the original student will get their paper back and open their paper and use their outline to create their own creative story. This makes the writing a little bit challenging as they try to create a story that was chosen by their fellow classmates. This can also be a super fun and creative way to expand students writing by stretching them a little outside their comfort zone.

Paperless Picture of The Day Morning Meeting Work Digital Resources

By Professional Development and Teacher Prep

Do your students need highly engaging morning meeting digital resources or a picture of the day to start off their morning? Morning Meeting Picture Slides are important to utilize to develop strong relationships with students and peer-to-peer relationships.  The picture of the day allows for deeper conversations and the building of a strong classroom community, which in turn raises academic achievement skills. The digital resource has many diverse pictures where everyone can feel represented.

How I Use Picture of The Day

We use a picture of the day every morning during our morning meeting routine. The morning meeting slides are projected on our screen for all students to see. Students are asked to infer, visualize, synthesize, and create connections with the picture. Looking closely at a picture is an important reading skill for students to develop to create inferences about what they are reading. 

Additionally, The picture of the day can be used for writing prompts or centers. Students can look at the picture and write a story based on the picture. 

This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners. You could assign one or more morning meeting slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities. 

“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom

“Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. In addition, these meetings can help you connect with your students, help students build relationships with each other, and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom.” -Centervention

The topics and what is included:

  • 180 pages of editable Google Slides. 
  • Diverse, beautiful pictures.
  • Pictures were either taken by me or were purchased stock photos. 
  • No worksheets. 
  • An excellent time-saver where all of the pictures are ready to go in one place!

Paragraph Practice BUNDLE - Brainstorming, Writing & Expanding Paragraphs

By Until the Pieces Fit

Included in this bundle are 3 of my favorite writing resources for helping students begin, write and expand their thoughts. These resources are interactive, with cut and paste, drawing and other activities.

1: Brainstorming and Beginning to Write Paragraphs

Do your students have difficulty when asked to write? My students were overwhelmed by the thought of writing so we took a step back. It is important to remember to take time to plan, which includes brainstorming. This packet features 5 simple topics (cats, magical adventures, exploring a castle, recess, my hero) with thematic pages to help students consider what they know.

What is included?

Start by providing students with thematic pages to help them begin the brainstorming process. Select all or some of the pages & try to have fun.

Brainstorming pages:

  • Simple questions to help students think about what they know.
  • Brainstorming pages - Students are asked to brainstorm simple words about a topic.
  • Drawing pages - Students are asked to draw a detailed picture about a topic.

Start writing using templates:

  • Write a paragraph - Choose a writing prompts that aligns to the topic you chose. 12 prompts are included
  • Question page - Designed to help students to choose their favorite information from their brainstorming
  • Templates - Student can then organize their thoughts using the hamburger model.
  • Final - lined papers for each topic/prompt.

2: Paragraph Practice - Identify introductions/conclusions, sort sentences, prompts

What are teachers saying? I love the colorful anchor charts to focus on each part individually. I also love that I can teach and students can practice each part of a paragraph individually before putting the whole thing together.

— Mary J.
Rated 5 out of 5

Do your students need some additional supports with paragraphs? My students were having difficulty with developing ideas that were on topic. They would write, however the materials didn't align. So, I made this as a practice to identify what things go together.

What is included?

  • 3 pages you can use as posters or visual introductions for introductions, supporting details and conclusions
  • Paragraph orders - 5 cut and paste pages. Students will read the sentences, cut them out, and place them in the correct order.
  • Identify introductions / conclusions (3 pages each with 3 paragraphs on each page). Student will read the paragraph and choose the best intro/conclusion from a choice of 3.
  • Identify supporting details (2 pages each with 3 paragraphs on each page). Student will read the paragraph and choose sentences that support the topic sentence.
  • Write a paragraph - Use the page of writing prompts and a hamburger writing template to practice writing a paragraph.

3: Writing Paragraphs by expanding your thoughts and adding supporting details

Do your students need some additional supports with expanding their thoughts when they are writing a paragraph? My students were having difficulty with developing ideas that were on topic & adding details to their writing. So, I made this as a practice to expanding their thoughts. (*this activity builds on my other writing packet which will be linked below)

What is included?

  • While this is posted as a PDF, the first 11 pages were made as a way to begin discussions with your students. While you can use as posters or visual supports, I merely projected the pages onto my white board and we discussed the importance of our writings.
  • 2 pages of matching - Each page has simple sentences students can read. They will draw lines from one side to the other to select the sentences that support one another.
  • 2 pages of multiple choice - A sentence is provided, and students will select the sentence that supports it best from a choice of 4.
  • Paragraph orders - 4 cut and paste pages. Students will read the sentences, cut them out, and place them in the correct order.
  • Write a paragraph - Use the page of writing prompts to write a paragraph that has additional supporting details.
  • Templates - Depending on the level of support your student needs I have included 3 different templates. The first is the hamburger, however adapted to support students in providing supporting details. The other templates are unlined/lined boxes.

These resources can be used in direct instruction, small /large groups. I have attached it as a pdf, so you could project the pages onto your board and write. Please reach out with any questions: untilthepiecesfit2@gmail.com
