<A name=prompts></A>Writing Prompts
 
Prompt writing is one of the many writing genres that our students of today need to be proficient. Prompt writing means that you are asked to write about a particular topic and stay on that topic. In order to maximize quality students need to remember to incorporate the writing prompt within their written piece, state a clear topic sentence, give strong supporting details, and create a conclusion that restates the writing prompt. 
Each week our class will be given a series of three choices to choose from. Each student is to take the prompt through the complete writing process. Friday mornings students will turn in their plan, draft, revisions/edits, and FINAL copy. All of this will be written in their Writing Journals.  As a class we will score and evaluate its quality.  Please support your student by setting aside time each day for him or her to work through the writing process to complete a quality published piece. Selected “best quality” pieces will be published on the website weekly under Student Work.
