Free New Resource: Quick Writes (Persuasive)
We recently published a group of four stimulus prompts to teach persuasive skills.
The ‘Have Your Say’ writing stimulus prompts are designed for students to apply and practice their persuasive skills. Each prompt is designed for a short burst of writing instruction. However, teachers should make their own judgment about how a stimulus prompt might be used.
