Why Use Writing Prompts for Students
Students today face more social pressures and constant stimulation than ever before, and as a result…
It can be incredibly challenging for kids to retain their individuality and their own unique ideas. Particularly in classroom environments where some degree of compliance is required, it’s especially tough for young kids to feel comfortable fully expressing themselves.
Fortunately….
Teachers can still promote individuality and teach kids that their ideas matter by assigning creative writing.
