Less than $5 4th Grade Writing Activities

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!

Check out our blog post Writing Prompts Your Students Will Love for more tips and inspiration!

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

Graphic Organizer will help students think and write about how peer pressure plays an important role in the lives or characters. The graphic organizer can be used for any book (and is not book specific). They will identify and analyze how one negative influence of peer pressure led the character to detrimental consequences and how one positive influence of peer pressure proved to be an asset in the character’s life.

Great scaffolding tool to help students gather and organize information.
