Description

Students have fun with word choices in Quirky Word Prompts You’ll Hardly Hate. They’ll be inserting adjectives in advertising, making boring paragraphs sparkle, writing a paragraph of one-syllable words, exploring figurative language, and diving into word-specific poetry. They’ll also learn about synonyms, definitions, descriptions, symbols, and much more.

Your reluctant writers will enjoy the section on lists. No complete sentences or perfect spelling required—just plenty of writing in fun topics such as lists of camping supplies, favorite things that don’t cost money, what moms do, supplies needed to wash a car, 20 words they would teach a parrot, and so much more!

Most of these 120 word prompts have not been published on Writing with Sharon Watson yet, so you’re getting them fresh.

We’ve included a great variety of prompts that you can use anywhere in grades 5 – 12.
