Since our school relies on a bi-annual writing prompt to assess writing I have been put on a committee to come up with prompts. I am at a loss and hope you can help me. What has been a worthwhile prompt for writing that is interesting and allows for writing skills to be determined. Do I think this is the best way to evaluate writing? No Way! But I certainly hope to get some new prompts. The last prompt was " In your opinion what are the qualities of a good friend?" Guess how many laundry lists that contained words like loyal, helpful understanding I read!!!! I felt like I was reading about a golden retriever...Seriously, can you help find some good writing prompts? the best I have seen are persuasive but we are after a variety such as descriptive, persuasive and expository.. What do you think? -, Tena
