Below are just a few examples of some of the very nice work I received (along with the prompt option which elicited them) from a few of our students:
Prompt 2, Personal Reaction: "Create a piece of writing that describes and explains a personal reaction to a character, place or event in the text." Personal Reaction Student SampleAsk your student this weekend: "Is what you've prepared to turn in next weekend on par with those on the blog?"
Prompt 4, Five Star Quote: React, respond and explicate a “five star quote” of your choice. A “five star quote” is a quote that “jumps off the page” at you for any number of reasons. It may be aphoristic, profound, humorous, universal, or any reason you choose. For clarity, you must include the entire quote somewhere in the entry. Five Star Quote Student Sample
