Winter Roll A Story Writing Prompts

Description

Your students will love these two winter roll a story writing prompts (designed for reluctant writers). These activities are perfect for literacy lessons, writing centers and writer’s workshop. They are also a great no prep lesson for substitute teachers during December, January, and February!

Tell me…

Do you have reluctant writers in your classroom?

You know, the kids who have an empty page in front of them and say –

• ‘I can’t think of anything to write’
• ‘I don’t have any good ideas’
• ‘I can’t decide what to write about’

I’ve been there and I wanted to tear my hair out in frustration!

But thank goodness that roll a story prompts saved the day.

Students simply roll a die three times to mix and match story elements (a character, setting, and problem).

The ideas and decision making is DONE for the students!

Here’s everything you need to know –

This is a simple print and go activity.
