Examples of writing Prompts

In Goin' Someplace Special, Patricia McKissack writes about a young girl, Tricia Ann, who is on her way to a special place… the library. For Tricia Ann, the library is a friendly place that she looks forward to visiting. Is there a special place that you like to visit? Why do you like it? It doesn't have to be far away, it could be in your own backyard, or down the street, or wherever. The important thing is that this place, and maybe the people there, are special to you. Tell us all about it and/or draw a picture if you like.

Have you ever lost a tooth? Not just lost it from your mouth, but really lost it and didn't have it to leave under your pillow for the tooth fairy? Imagine that you have lost your tooth, can't find it anywhere, and don't have it to put under your pillow. Write a letter to the tooth fairy explaining your situation and how your tooth got lost. See if you can persuade the tooth fairy to leave something under your pillow even though you have no tooth to place there. Include descriptive details about your tooth and where your tooth went missing — just in case the tooth fairy decides to look for it!
