Well-written student essays begin with a carefully crafted writing prompt, the first step in providing effective support for each of your students. In partnership with Model Teaching, an industry leader in supporting educators, this course teaches you five types of writing prompts you can introduce to your students: narrative, creative, expository, persuasive, and reading response. Model Teaching's Mission is to improve student performance by directly supporting teachers with quality content and resources. You will learn a structure for developing each writing prompt and be provided examples aligned with expectations across grade levels, from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
This teacher professional development course will teach you about four essential components of an effective writing prompt, ensuring your students are supported in writing strong essays. You will learn how to generate narrative, creative, expository, persuasive, and reading response writing exercises. During your training, you will view examples at each grade level and learn a structured approach for each writing prompt design.
By the end of the course, you will be able to design your own writing prompt for a future lesson in an action plan and will leave the course with 11 tools, templates, and samples ready for use in your classroom.
