What a question looks like
Example questionMake a reasoned argument about a choice involving an unexpected message inside a library book. Include the viewpoint of a reader deciding what to do. State a claim and support it with at least two reasons.
Answer: Responses will vary.
- Check for a claim, at least two reasons, relevant evidence, and a response to another viewpoint.
Use this practice well
Choose one prompt and spend two minutes planning a beginning, a middle, and an ending or a claim with supporting points. Use the prompt as a starting point, then revise the writing.
What this develops
Print a focused story, explanation or argument prompt with writing space and a teacher review guide.
A mistake to watch for
Trying to answer every part at once can leave a piece without a clear central idea.
Ways to use it
- Begin a daily writing session.
- Offer a choice of prompts.
- Practise planning before drafting.
Scope and limits
Open-ended writing has no single correct answer; the key gives a planning or review cue.
