--- October Preview
Prompts Preview - Preview upcoming topics on a regular basis (or post them on your classroom wall or website). This helps "prime the pump"... so to speak.
Self-Service prompts- Give students just the topic/title of a Daily Ten. Let them come up with their own prompt idea and respond accordingly. Pen Names - The use of creative aliases, when sharing or publishing, will help students open up and express their feelings and experiences more freely. Hobby vs Money - The proverb goes: Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Discuss hobbies that make money with students and let them come up with their ideas of what they would like to do for life relying on the saying. Who Am I? - Have five students stand up. Read one of their given responses. See if the rest of the class can guess who the “real author” is. Ghost Writers - Have students assume the identity of someone else (famous or otherwise) and answer the given prompt as they think this person would. |
