Writing Resources for Students

Welcome!

Writing isn’t about getting everything right.

It’s about thinking, explaining, imagining, and making sense of ideas.

Writing is just another way to show what you understand.

It doesn’t come after reading—it grows alongside it.

I’ve created some prompts to help you get started.

Getting to know you

I think the best way to start writing is getting to know who you are as a writer. Think about the statements that I have written below. Then grab a piece of paper and a pencil or pen and complete the prompts below.

I like to write on …

(ex. lined paper, unlined paper, a computer, notebook)
I like to write with …

(ex. pen, pencil, crayon, keyboard)
My favorite place to write is …
I am the kind of writer who…

(ex. needs quiet, likes noise, sits at a desk, writes with others)
My favorite writer is … because…
I like to write about …
My favorite kind of writing is…

(ex. poetry, stories, song lyrics, lists)
I like to write because…

Now that you know who you are as a writer; it is time to FLEX your writing muscles. If you write for just 10 minutes each day you will strengthen your writing muscles. The more you write the better you will write and it starts with just 10 minutes a day.

For your first challenge set the clock for 10 minutes and brainstorm a list of things you would like to write about.
